Ingredients
- 6 apples
- 1 cup (240ml) water
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional
Instructions
- Peel, core and chop the apples.
- Add them to a pan with the water and sugar, if using. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover with the lid and simmer for 10-15 minutes until very soft.
- Mash or puree with an immersion blender (or regular blender).
- Optional: ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg
Notes
- When preparing the apples, make sure all the pieces are roughly the same size. This will ensure all of the apples cook and break down at the same time.
- Let the apples cool slightly before blending as hot apple liquid can splash up and cause serious burns.
- Sugar in this recipe is completely optional. Most apples have enough natural sweetness to make a great applesauce but you can sweeten to your liking.
- Does homemade applesauce need lemon juice? Although lemon juice does help keep the apples from turning brown and oxidizing, it is not a necessary ingredient to make applesauce.
- What is the best apple to use for applesauce? While you can use any apple or a mix of apples, granny smith apples are a great choice because they are sturdy and less sweet which means you can add less sugar to the mix.
- How long does homemade applesauce last? When stored properly in an airtight container, homemade applesauce can last up to 10 days in the fridge.
