1
Wash and Cut the Apples
Begin by washing the apples thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and seeds, then cut them into quarters. You can peel the apples if you prefer a smoother sauce, but leaving the skin on will add extra nutrients and texture.
2
Cook the Apples
Place the quartered apples in a large saucepan. Add 1 cup of water to the saucepan to help steam the apples. Cover the saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft and tender.

3
Blend the Mixture
Once the apples are cooked down and soft, remove the saucepan from heat. Use a hand blender or transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until you reach your desired consistency, whether smooth or chunky.

4
Add Flavorings
Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the blended apple mixture. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more brown sugar if necessary. Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

5
Cool and Store
Allow the apple sauce to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
