Serve this delicious applesauce as a snack or dessert, or add it to your favorite recipes like cakes, cookies, pancakes, and more. Use it to top potato latkes or cooked pork chops. Just give it a try!
To make the Homemade Applesauce, you will need the following ingredients:
In a saucepan, combine 3 pounds chopped apples, ⅓ cup water, 2-4 tablespoons sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover with a lid.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the apples are very tender. Uncover and simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken.
For a chunky sauce, mash the cooked apples with a masher. Alternatively, purée the apples with an immersion blender for a smooth sauce.
Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
