Ingredients
- 4 cups (1 L) unpeeled, seeded and chopped apples (about four large apples, such as Gala, Honeycrisp, Cortland, or McIntosh)
- ½ cup (125 mL) apple cider or apple juice
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) ground cinnamon, or more for a stronger taste
Preparation
- In a medium-sized pot, add the chopped apples, apple cider, and ground cinnamon.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the apples have softened, remove the pot from the heat.
- Carefully puree the mixture using an immersion blender, or transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
- Allow the applesauce to cool, then transfer it to an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to three days and enjoy!
Notes
- Any apple variety can be used. Here are some of our favourites for applesauce: Gala, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Pink Lady, and McIntosh.
- Don’t peel the apples, the skins add depth, flavour, and colour to the applesauce. They will soften and blend right in once pureed.
