Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (e.g., Braeburn, Fuji, or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into evenly-sized chunks, about 1 inch in size.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, apple cider, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and start breaking down.
Step 5
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the apples to your preferred consistency. For a chunkier texture, mash lightly; for a smoother sauce, blend thoroughly.
Step 6
Taste the applesauce and adjust sweetness or cinnamon to your liking, if necessary.
Step 7
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Step 8
Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature as desired.
