Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Apples
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft and beginning to break down, about 20-25 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the apples until you reach your desired consistency, either chunky or smooth.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and lemon juice. If desired, add honey for extra sweetness.
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
