A simple blend of apples, sugar, and cinnamon is all you need for this applesauce recipe. Perfect and fresh!
The Best Apples for Applesauce
Any kind of apple is great for homemade applesauce. Try a combination of any of the following: Granny Smith, Gala, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, or Fujis. A sweeter apple will make a sweeter sauce, while a tart apple (like Granny Smith) will result in a more tart sauce. You can add extra sweetener if needed. Try an assortment or mixture of your favorites.
How to Make Applesauce
Serve as a dessert with yogurt or over vanilla ice cream, or as a side with pork chops!
Variations
Swap the water for your favorite juice or apple cider. Add extra spices like pumpkin pie spice or a pinch of nutmeg. Sugar can be substituted for a sweetener of your choice. Adjust according to the sweetness of the apple. You can also cook this in a crock pot. Set it on low for about 3 hours.
How to Store Applesauce
Homemade applesauce will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator. Place the applesauce into small containers or freezer bags. I like to freeze it in one-cup portions for up to four months.
