Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup (optional for sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks. It is not necessary to peel them if you prefer a chunkier texture and added fiber.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples and water. Bring them to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the apples cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they become soft and tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Mash the apples using a potato masher or an immersion blender until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, mix in honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
Step 6
Allow the apple sauce to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy it as a standalone snack or alongside dishes like pancakes, pork chops, or yogurt.
