My children love applesauce. This year we picked enough apples that we could probably fill up our pantry with applesauce for the year. This applesauce recipe is so easy. Apples – is the only ingredient that you’ll need. I don’t preserve applesauce as we like to eat it right away or use it in recipes. See note below on how to preserve it if you wish to do so. I don’t sweeten my applesauce, and I don’t put any spices in it. We like it as it is, because apples are naturally very sweet, but its up to you. So here it is. This recipe makes 2 cups of applesauce.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-large apples
- sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
Peel, core, and quarter apples. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes until apples are fork tender. Add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla (if using). Using a blender on high, puree the apples.
There you have it! Enjoy!
Note: If you wish to preserve your applesauce, pack it into clean pint size jar while its hot. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to top of jar. Seal. Process in a water bath for 20 minutes. Let cool. This processed applesauce can be stored in a pantry.
