Ingredients
- 4 cups Apples (any sweet variety like Gala or Fuji, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced apples, blueberries, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Cover the saucepan and let the mixture cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the blueberries have broken down, creating a vibrant purple hue.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice. If desired, add honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness and ground cinnamon for flavor.
Step 6
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the mixture to reach your desired consistency (smooth or slightly chunky). Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender, blend, and return it to the saucepan.
Step 7
Allow the blueberry applesauce to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight container.
Step 8
Refrigerate for up to one week or freeze for longer storage. Serve chilled, warmed, or at room temperature.
