Ingredients
- 8 medium apples
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Wash, peel, core, and chop the 8 medium apples into even-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped apples, 0.5 cups of water, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Step 3
Cover the saucepan and let the apple mixture cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft and easily mashed.
Step 4
Once the apples are fully cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Step 5
Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until the desired consistency is reached. For a chunkier applesauce, use a potato masher instead of a blender.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the cinnamon as needed, depending on your preference.
Step 7
Allow the applesauce to cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a storage container.
Step 8
Refrigerate and consume within one week for the best flavor and freshness.
