Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks for even cooking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir to evenly coat the apples.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and easily mashable.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash or puree the cooked apples to your desired texture—chunky or smooth.
Stir in the prepared horseradish, ground cinnamon (if using), and salt, mixing until well incorporated. Adjust the horseradish and seasoning to taste, if needed.
Transfer the horseradish applesauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve warm or allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy as a flavorful side or unique condiment!
