Ingredients

  • 3 ½ pounds of apples (about 12 medium), peeled, cored and chopped
  • ½ cup of water
  • ⅓ cup of sugar
  • 1 pint of Strawberries rinsed and hulled
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, add chopped apple, water and sugar. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until the apples are soft, stirring often and checking for sticking. If apples begin to stick to the bottom of the pot, add a large splash of more water. Once soft, turn off heat.
  2. Add strawberries and vanilla extract. Using an immersion blender, blend apple-strawberry mixture until smooth. (If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer to an upright blender or food processor.) Enjoy warm or chilled.

Notes

  • To save time: If you have one, an apple corer will help reduce the prep time.
  • Adjust the sweetness: Depending on the apples you’ve used, you may find the sauce is sweet enough to make naturally sugar-free applesauce with strawberries. To avoid adding too much sugar, only add it right at the end, to taste.
  • Adjust the texture: For homemade chunky applesauce, either blend the strawberries separately or cook them with the apples, then use a potato masher for the combined mixture. Alternatively, use an immersion blender for a smooth sauce.
  • For a well-rounded applesauce: Use a combination of sweet and tart apples.
