Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Apples (firm, sweet variety like Fuji or Gala)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for additional sweetness)
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small cubes.
In a large saucepan, combine the apple cubes and water. Cover the saucepan with a lid.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until the apples are soft and starting to break down.
Once the apples are soft, remove the lid and mash the apples using a potato masher or an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and lemon juice until well combined.
Taste the applesauce. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add the optional honey and mix well until fully incorporated.
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or cold and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
