Homemade Sweet Applesauce
Easy, sweet Homemade applesauce is made with just a few ingredients and is so much better than store bought. Make it chunky or smooth with a blender!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs apples (I used Gala for this batch)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar (depending how sweet you want it)
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel and core apples then chop in to small chunks.
- Add the apples, lemon juice, water and sugar to a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring as needed.
- Add the cinnamon and nutmeg and cook an additional 10 minutes or until the apples are super soft.
- You can use a potato masher to crush it up or I used my immersion blender to blend up about half of the sauce to a more fine consistency and left the rest chunky. (I like texture!) Feel free to blend or mash to the consistency you prefer.
