Ingredients
- 6 large apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into approximately 1/2-inch chunks, ensuring even sizes for consistent texture.
Step 2
In a medium-sized pot, combine the diced apples and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Let the apples cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften but still retain some chunks.
Step 4
Remove the pot from heat and gently mash the apples with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to achieve your desired chunkiness.
Step 5
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg while the mixture is warm, ensuring the flavors distribute evenly.
Step 6
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or refrigerate to enjoy cold.
Step 7
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
