Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs medium-sized apples peeled, cored, and chopped into 2" pieces
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to coat. Cover and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. For chunkier applesauce, use a potato masher to mash the apples until you reach your desired consistency. For smoother applesauce, use an immersion blender or food processor.
  • Serve warm or cold. Allow the applesauce time to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the fridge.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • The amount of water you use will dictate the consistency. This recipe is for a slightly chunky applesauce. For a smoother applesauce, double the quantity of water. 
  • Keep in mind the size of your apples could alter the quantities in this recipe. There are roughly 3 medium-sized apples in a pound. 
  • For a Cinnamon Applesauce, use one full teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
