The Best Homemade Applesauce image

After tasting the pure apple flavor of this homemade sauce, you just might never go back to the store-bought kind. Supermarket applesauce can be loaded with added sweeteners and flavorings. We use only a little sugar, plus lemon juice, salt and cinnamon, providing a balanced flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness.

Categories     condiment

Time 1h35m

Yield about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds assorted apples, such as Golden Delicious, Gala, Honeycrisp or McIntosh (about 8), peeled, cored and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
  • Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples to create different flavor combinations. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn, pair well with sweet apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to create a smooth applesauce.
  • Cook the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency. If you like a chunky applesauce, cook it for a shorter period of time. If you prefer a smooth applesauce, cook it for a longer period of time.
  • Add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of apple cider vinegar for a bit of tang.
  • Applesauce can be used as a spread for sandwiches, a topping for pancakes or waffles, or a filling for pies and pastries.

Conclusion:

Applesauce is a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack, a sweet treat, or a savory addition to your meal, applesauce is sure to please. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find an applesauce that you love.
