Homemade Applesauce

Homemade applesauce is an easy way to preserve the fall harvest. Applesauce can be used as an oil substitute and makes baking light and fluffy.

Ingredients :

  • 3 pounds apples peeled, cored, and chopped, about 6 medium
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions :

  • Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover.
  • Cook 15-20 minutes or until apples are very tender. Remove lid and simmer an additional 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Mash apples with a masher for a chunky consistency or blend/puree with an immersion blender for a smooth consistency.
  • Serve warm or chilled.
