3-INGREDIENT APPLESAUCE (NO SUGAR ADDED)
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).

QUICK HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE - NO SUGAR ADDED
A quick, easy homemade applesauce recipe that I served with potato latkes this year. It has no added sugar, which makes it a better option for diabetics and low-carb people and others who avoid cane sugar. But if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (I like Braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (Granny Smith, for example). Don't leave out the salt, it's a necessary ingredient for a good applesauce!

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are good for applesauce, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
- Peel and core the apples: This is an important step to remove the skin and seeds from the apples. You can use a vegetable peeler or a corer to do this.
- Cut the apples into chunks: Cut the apples into 1-inch chunks so that they cook evenly.
- Add water or apple juice: Add just enough water or apple juice to cover the apples. This will help the applesauce to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook the applesauce until the apples are soft: Bring the applesauce to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
- Mash the applesauce: Once the apples are soft, you can mash them with a potato masher or a fork. You can also use a food processor or blender to puree the applesauce, if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Add spices and sweetener: If desired, you can add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the applesauce. You can also add a sweetener such as honey or maple syrup, if you like.
- Store the applesauce: Let the applesauce cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the applesauce for up to 6 months.
