Easy Peasy Applesauce
Report
It is apple season here in the Carolinas! Making homemade applesauce is somewhat of a special occasion around here since a healthy store-bought alternative (with no sugar added) can easily be found. But nothing beats this homemade Easy Peasy Applesauce recipe. I love that this recipe freezes well, too!

Ingredients
- 3 pounds apples cut into ½ inch or 1 inch slices (no need to peel them unless you have an extra hour you want to kill, any variety is good)
- ½ cup apple juice or cider
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tick cinnamon optional
- 2 tablespoons honey optional
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ground
Instructions
- Combine the apples, apple juice/cider, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick (if using) into a large pot. Cover and simmer for 20 – 25 minutes or until tender (but not mushy).
- Remove the cinnamon stick (if using) and transfer warm apple mixture to a food processor (or you can mash by hand with a potato masher) and add honey (if using) and nutmeg. Puree to desired chunkiness. Serve, refrigerate, or freeze the leftovers!
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
