Ingredients

  • 10-12 apples* I recommend a mix of Pink Lady & Granny Smith
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon , ground
  • 1/2 tsp. allspice
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg , ground
  • 1/2 tsp. cloves , ground
  • 1 lemon , juiced
  • 1 cup water , filtered
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (optional) Use more water if you prefer not to use.
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • cinnamon sticks optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel all of the apples and cut each apple into large chunks. Place apple pieces in a large pot on the stove over medium heat and add in all of the remaining ingredients. Cover with lid.
  2. Cook on low-medium heat until apples break down, ~30-45 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally. Remove cinnamon sticks when applesauce has finished cooking.
  3. Mash apples with a potato masher for a chunky consistency. For a smoother consistency, puree the applesauce in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
  4. Enjoy cooled down or warm! Store in fridge.

Notes

  • *You can use any apple(s) you'd like in this homemade applesauce. I like using a blend or two or three different varieties.
