Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash, peel, core, and slice the apples into small chunks.

  2. 2

    Cook the Apples

    In a large pot, combine the sliced apples and add 1 cup of water. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft.

  3. 3

    Mash the Apples

    Once the apples are soft, remove them from the heat. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the apples to your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Add Sugar and Spices

    Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the mashed apples. Mix until well combined.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Mixture

    Return the pot to low heat and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.

  6. 6

    Cool and Store

    Remove from heat and let the applesauce cool. Transfer to airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
