Ingredients
- 6 large apples (about 3 lbs.) $5.07
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon $0.03
- 3/4 cup water $0.00
- 2 tsp lemon juice $0.04
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and remove the core from the apples. Chop the apples into small 3/4 inch chunks.
- Add the chopped apples, ground cinnamon and water to a medium pot and place a lid on top. Heat the apples over medium, allowing them to come up to a simmer. Continue to simmer the apples for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender. The total cook time will vary depending on the variety of apple used.*
- Remove the pot from heat. Mash the apples with a potato masher inside the pot for a chunky texture. Or allow the apples to cool slightly and blend with an immersion blender or carefully inside a blender for a smoother texture.
- Add the lemon juice to the applesauce and stir to combine. Serve homemade applesauce warm or chilled in the refrigerator.

Notes
- * If the applesauce is too thick you can add a little more water, or if it's too runny it can be simmered a little longer, without a lid, to thicken.
