Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash the apples thoroughly under running water. Peel, core, and slice them into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Apples

    In a large pot, combine the sliced apples and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft.

  3. 3

    Mash the Apples

    Once the apples are soft, use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the apples to your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, blend until completely pureed.

  4. 4

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the sugar according to your taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Remove the pot from heat and let the applesauce cool to room temperature. Transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate. Enjoy your homemade applesauce!
