Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (any sweet variety like Gala or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional, adjust based on apple sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional for brightness)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks.
Step 2
Place the apple chunks in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the bowl to prevent the apples from drying out.
Step 4
Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apples. Add sugar and lemon juice if desired for extra sweetness and flavor.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate or plastic wrap, leaving a small opening for ventilation.
Step 6
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until the apples are soft and easily mashable.
Step 7
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and mash the apples with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency. For a smoother applesauce, blend with a hand blender or food processor.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon level as needed. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
