Ingredients
- 4 medium apple cored, peeled and chopped into even sized pieces (choose a sweet variety like Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious or a blend of apples
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine apples, water, cinnamon and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-25 minutes, depending on the size of your apples. You’ll know they’re ready when the apples are soft and have lost their shape.
- Remove the apples from the heat and allow to cool slightly. For a chunky applesauce: use a potato masher to mash the apples. For a smooth applesauce: place cooked apples in a food processor or high-powered blender and blend until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes
- Slow cooker applesauce: Just add all your ingredients and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for about 6 hours or until your apples are soft and mashable. Then blend or mash as desired!
