Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (any variety such as Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith)
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice (optional, for added tang)
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into small chunks for even cooking.
Place the apple chunks in a microwave-safe bowl and add the water. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent to release steam.
Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the apples are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the apples cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked apples, along with any remaining liquid from the bowl, into a blender or food processor. Add cinnamon and lemon juice, if using.
Blend to your desired consistency—pulse for a chunky compote, or blend until smooth for a silky applesauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For a thicker applesauce or compote, return the mixture to the bowl and microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between, to evaporate excess liquid.
Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
