I think the easiest way is to go to:

and buy a kit. But, if you are a true do-it-yourselfer, and you have a crock pot...
Ingredients
10 - 12 Macintosh Apples
2 quarts Natural Apple Cider
Small jar of Cinnamon Applesauce
1/2 c. Maple Syrup
Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Ginger to taste
Preparation
Pour all the applesauce and enough cider into a large crock pot, leaving about three inches from the top of the crock. Stir and set on high.
Peel, core and slice apples into thin slices. This process will take the most time, but after this is done, you're almost finished! Add slices to the crock and cook on high for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
After the apples are soft, use a slotted spoon and sift the apples into your blender. Add the maple syrup and the spices of your liking. Pulse the mixture into an applesauce-like consistancy, then return the apples to the crock. Reduce the heat to low.
Stir well and serve from the hot crock. I garnish with a spoonful of whipped cream on top and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the cream! Looks good and tastes better... very impressive!
Cook's Notes
Macintosh Apples are my favorite, but Fuji Apples work well, too. Everyone's taste is different, but if you are looking for a guide to the spice amounts, I use 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. nutmeg and 1/2 tsp. ginger. Graham Cracker Crumbs are a nice garnish to this as well - giving it a more dessert-like twist.
