Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and chopped in bite-size pieces
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon ((plus more to taste))
2-3 Tbsp water
1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar ((for preserving / keeping fresh longer / tartness))
1-2 tsp maple syrup ((or other sweetener of choice // optional) )

Steps:

  • To a medium saucepan (see notes for Instant Pot instructions) add peeled chopped apples, cinnamon, a dash of water (~2-3 Tbsp / 30-45 ml as original recipe is written), and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Stir.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat until it simmers, then reduce heat to low / medium-low and continue cooking until the apples are very tender and slightly caramelized - about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Use the back of a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash into a loose sauce. You could also blend with an immersion blender, in a food processor or high-speed blender for smoother texture (optional) - a helpful step if you left the skins on. Add a dash of maple syrup or sugar of choice to sweeten (optional - depends on sweetness of your apples).
  • Enjoy fresh, or store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. Enjoy cold or reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until hot (add more water as needed if dry).

This may sound weird, but I love baby food, only certain types though, the yoghurts and fruit purees, and you know they have no rubbish so can eat them without the guilt, this is my favourite baby food. If you want to make more for storage, just add more apples and use required water. it also works great as an applesauce for pork if you don't puree it

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are good for applesauce, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. These apples hold their shape well and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Peel and core the apples: This is an optional step, but it will give you a smoother applesauce. If you don't want to peel the apples, just wash them thoroughly.
  • Cut the apples into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Add some water or apple juice: This will help the applesauce to cook without burning.
  • Simmer the applesauce over low heat: This will help to preserve the flavor and nutrients in the apples.
  • Stir the applesauce occasionally: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season the applesauce to taste: You can add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, or a little bit of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.

Conclusion:

Making applesauce at home is a great way to use up extra apples and enjoy a healthy and delicious snack or side dish.
