Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash, peel, and core the apples. Cut them into small chunks for easier cooking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the apple chunks and water. Stir to mix the ingredients well.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the apples cook until tender. This should take about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Step 6
After the apples have softened, remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 7
Once cooled enough to handle, use an immersion blender or a potato masher to achieve your desired applesauce consistency. If you prefer a chunky texture, mash lightly. For a smoother texture, blend well.
Step 8
Stir in the ground cinnamon and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more cinnamon or lemon juice to preference.
Step 10
Allow to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
Step 11
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze in portions for up to three months.
