Units
Scale
- 6 medium golden delicious apples, peeled, cored, chopped into smaller chunks
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the peeled, cored, quartered and chopped apples in a large pot. Add 1/2 cup of water, lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once simmering, cover and reduce the heat to low. Maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes or until the apples are completely soft and cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
- Once fully cooked, remove from heat. Mash the apples directly in the pot using a potato masher for chunky applesauce. For smooth applesauce, add the apples to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth or use a hand-held immersion blender and blend directly in the pot.
