Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (e.g., Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4
Cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the apples cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and easily mashable.
Step 5
Once the apples are tender, use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the apples to your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and puree.
Step 6
If desired, stir in the ground cinnamon for added flavor.
Step 7
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
