Ingredients
- 8 medium Apples
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft and beginning to break down, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the apples until you reach your desired consistency, either chunky or smooth.
Step 5
Stir in the ground cinnamon and lemon juice. If desired, add honey for extra sweetness.
Step 6
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
