Master the art of homemade applesauce with this straightforward recipe. It's hands-down the tastiest version you'll ever make, using fresh ingredients for unbeatable flavor.
Ingredients
Step-by-Step Instructions
Peel 1 kg of apples, core them, and cut into chunks. Add to a saucepan with 100 ml water, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Puree for smooth applesauce or leave chunkier for compote.
Adjusting Sugar Levels
Customize to taste—sweeter apples may need less. Reduce or skip sugar for a healthier option, or add an extra tablespoon if you prefer it sweeter.
