Not every type of apple is good for apple sauce. Apples like Red Delicious, Royal Gala +++ that are crispy, will never be cooked into sauce. U need to use apple that are "soft" 。。。
I'm not sure of their names, I'm guessing most local grown + 肥肥矮矮的, e.g. Spartan/Mackintosh/+++, should be OK. U know those that are like $2/$3 for 3/5 lbs. bag in Summers. Some local grown ones may not be suitable, I'm not sure if Mackintosh is soft enough.
I've seen Apple Charts, but don't know where to find it. One thing u can do is take a bite 。。。 if apple is very crispy, don't use it for sauce. Generally (我猜 :p ), whatever is good for apple pie, will be good for apple sauce.

Based on this recipe, I'm 100% sure that McIntosh will be good for Applesauce also, i.e. cook itself to MOO-SSSH
Roasted Apple Butter Ingredients:
8 medium McIntosh apples, (2 3/4 pounds), peeled, cored and quartered
2 cups unsweetened apple juice
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange apples in a large roasting pan. Pour apple juice over the apples. Bake until tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Using a fork or potato masher, thoroughly mash the apples in the roasting pan.
2. Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Bake the apple puree, stirring occasionally, until very thick and deeply browned, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. Scrape into a bowl and let cool.
