Description
Homemade Unsweetened Applesauce is an incredibly easy recipe to make. Once you’ve made homemade applesauce, I don’t think you’ll ever reach for the store-bought version again. This recipe is very simple, absolutely delicious (no sweetener needed!) and the perfect way to use apples after a day at the orchard.
Ingredients
Scale
4 peeled and cored apples (small to medium)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cinnamon to taste, optional
Instructions
- Peel the apples with a vegetable peeler, then core them and cut into large chunks.
- Once the apples are ready, place water in a large sauce pan on high heat and cover with a lid. When the water is boiling, add the apples and lemon juice and set a timer for 5 minutes. The apples will be done when they are tender and slide right of a fork when pierced.
- Place the apples and cooking liquid in a food processor or high powered blender and blend until you have your desired consistency. Blend longer for a super creamy applesauce.
- You can add a little cinnamon to taste and blend it into the applesauce if you want, or you can enjoy it plain.
- Store the applesauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week, or store in the freezer.
