Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low, allowing the apples to cook until they are soft, roughly 20 minutes.
Stir the apples occasionally to prevent sticking, adding a bit more water if needed to keep a moist environment.
Once the apples are soft, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the apples to your desired consistency.
For a chunkier applesauce, mash lightly. For a smoother texture, blend until the sauce is completely smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
Remove from heat and let the applesauce cool to room temperature.
Serve the cinnamon applesauce warm, chilled, or at room temperature. Enjoy as a side dish, or use it as a topping for desserts or breakfast foods.
