Ingredients

  • 4 large apples peeled, cored and diced, I used McIntosh
  • ½ cup apple juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and core apples. Chop apples into one-inch pieces.
  2. Combine apples, apple juice and sugar into a medium saucepan. Turn the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil.
  3. Cover the pan and reduce to medium-low heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool. Transfer the apple mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture until smooth. Add cinnamon if desired, then enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use an immersion blender to blend applesauce right in the pan if you have one.
  • For a chunkier applesauce, use a potato masher to mash the applesauce.
  • Store applesauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. You can freeze applesauce in an airtight container, like a freezer zip-top bag, for up to 6 months.
  • This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of applesauce, but it can easily be doubled or tripled.
