1
Prepare the Apples
Wash the apples under cold running water to remove any dirt. Peel, core, and slice the apples into small chunks for easier cooking.
2
Cook the Apples
In a large pot, combine the sliced apples and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are soft and tender.
3
Mash the Apples
Once the apples are tender, remove the pot from heat. Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the apples to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
4
Add Flavorings
Stir in 1 cup of sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 2 tbs of lemon juice, and 1 tsp of salt into the mashed apples. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
5
Simmer Again
Return the pot to the stove over low heat. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
6
Cool and Serve
Remove the pot from heat and let the applesauce cool. Once cooled, serve immediately or store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
