Ingredients
- 4 Apples (we like gala or honeycrisp)
- ½ Cup Water
- ¼ Cup Raw Sugar (or regular white sugar)
- 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Cut apples into small chunks.
- Add apples into a pot over medium heat.
- Add in:½ Cup Water, ¼ Cup Raw Sugar, 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice, 2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
- Cover and allow to cook down for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the apples have become soft, torn to low heat.
- Begin to mash them. You can do this to your liking. We prefer a bit more chunky applesauce, but if you want very smooth applesauce, just keep mashing!
- And that’s it! Serve hot or cold and enjoy.
Notes & Tips
Looking for low-sugar, sugar-free, or unsweetened applesauce? No problem. Just leave out some or all of the sugar. Depending on which apples you use, they can often be sweet enough as is.
