Homemade Applesauce is Super Simple
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
You only need four ingredients to make my flavorful, homemade Applesauce Recipe. This super simple applesauce recipe uses just one pot and finishes in less than an hour.
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/applesauce-r...
Ingredients
3 lbs apples, peeled, cored, and diced (I recommend using a crisp, sweet apple like Fuji, Honeycrisp, Gala, Pink Lady, or Cortland.) Weigh before peeling/coring apples. (1.4kg)
1 cup water (236ml)
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar¹ (38g)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 cinnamon sticks² (optional, see note to use ground cinnamon)

Immersion blender or potato masher (Affiliate Link): amzn.to/3jOtrp2
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:18 Combine apples, water, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon sticks in a large pot on the stovetop. Stir to combine.
02:28 Turn stovetop heat to medium and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium/low, cover with lid, and continue to cook for 20-30 minutes, checking/stirring once or twice to make sure the heat is not too high and apples are not burning to the bottom of the pot.
03:34 Cook until apples are completely soft and tender when pierced with a fork (they should give easily to the fork and offer no resistance).
04:10 Remove from heat and carefully remove cinnamon sticks. Mash with a potato masher (for chunkier applesauce) or blend with an immersion blender until smooth (for a smoother applesauce). You may also transfer the apples to a blender and puree until smooth if you don’t have an immersion blender.
If applesauce is too watery for your liking you can return to the stovetop and cook over medium/low heat, stirring occasionally, until the water is reduced and mixture is the desired consistency.
05:30 Allow to cool and then serve!
Notes
¹Sugar
I recommend using the amount listed, but you may reduce or even omit the sugar (if you have very sweet, flavorful apples) or increase it up to 4 Tablespoons or even more if you are using particularly tart apples. Brown sugar (light or dark), honey, or maple syrup may be substituted for the sugar but each will impart their own flavor into the applesauce.
²Cinnamon
I like to use cinnamon sticks for a subtle cinnamon-flavored applesauce. You may omit if you do not like the flavor. If you do not have cinnamon sticks but want the flavor, stir in ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon after pureeing/mashing the applesauce.
Scaling the recipe
This recipe may be reduced in half or doubled or even tripled (if you have a pot that’s large enough). I usually only add an additional ½ cup (113ml) of water for every additional 3 lbs (1.4kg) of apples that I use.
Storing
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Applesauce may also be stored in the freezer for 6 months or longer, just use an airtight container, preferably a plastic bag that you can remove the air from. To defrost I thaw in the fridge overnight. While this recipe may be canned, I have not personally canned it and don’t feel comfortable advising on the specifics of how to do so.

I am 39 years old and have never made homemade applesauce, until I made this recipe. I will never buy store-bought, again! I used an immersion blender for mine, and it turned out so smooth and almost creamy, if that makes sense. Delicious!

I cook my apples in a 6qt. pot filled half way with water, tsp., of cinnamon, tbsp., of brown sugar & apples, after they've cooked, I have apple like cider/juice in my pot. I then wait for them to cool and place my apples in a food processor, with 7 apples it usually makes 48-58 oz., of Applesauce. Smack-a-licious!!! 🍎😋🍏 and the Apple like Cider/juice is good too!!! 😃👍

I always do my applesauce in the crockpot and have an easy tip if you're not a proficient apple peeler. I use one of the little devices that cuts the apples into eight pieces and removes the core. The slices are just the right size to peel with a single swipe of a paring knife. Snap it in half, throw it in the pot, and peel the next slice. I can do an apple a minute this way! I may have to scoop a bit of the seed pod out of the section but that only takes seconds. Since it's going to get mashed up, I don't worry about dicing into pieces.

So, my husband grew up with this homemade applesauce that he says was super smooth and runny/thin. Is there a way to get somewhat thinner results? I figured add more water but I figured it cannot hurt to ask, because there could be other ways. Lol
Does anyone know how long the apple sauce will stay good for in fridge?
Could you use honey as a sweetener? Just out of curiosity as I have some nice honey I was gifted and have been wanting to use. :)
How long will this stay good to eat in the fridge 😮
yep, applesauce...soooo easy. think mashed potatoes without butter and cream. same method. except I don't add water because the apples make their own juice. instead I use orange juice for liquid while the apples are cooking down. Once I figured THAT out I stumbled upon a recipe for apple butter...just applesauce reduced and most of the liquid evaporated.
Can u drain water from the applesauce?
