Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4-5 large apples I like to use Gala, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon in a big pot on the stove on medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 min until apples are soft when pierced with a fork.
  • Mash the apple sauce using a potato masher.
  • Allow to cool slightly and enjoy warm or refrigerate to enjoy cold.

Notes

  • This recipe can be easily doubled by just doubling all the ingredients.
  • Peel and core the apple completely as the skins can be a bit tough in the applesauce.
  • Chop the apples evenly so all the pieces cook at the same rate. 
  • Use a potato masher for the best batch of chunky applesauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
