Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples
- 0.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Place the diced apples in the rice steamer's inner bowl or steaming tray (depending on the design of your steamer).
Step 3
Add 0.5 cups of water to the apples to help steam and soften them.
Step 4
If desired, sprinkle the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the apples.
Step 5
Drizzle the lemon juice over the top to enhance the flavor and prevent excessive browning.
Step 6
Close the lid of your rice steamer and set it to the 'Cook' setting. Allow the apples to steam for approximately 30 minutes or until they are very soft.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the apples from the steamer and transfer them to a blender, food processor, or a large mixing bowl if you prefer to mash manually.
Step 8
Blend, process, or mash the apples to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
Step 9
Taste the applesauce and adjust sweetness or cinnamon, if necessary.
Step 10
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
