Easy Homemade Chunky Applesauce


  • Author: Shanna Mallon
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: About 3 cups 1x

Description

Skip the sugary jarred stuff. Whip up a comforting bowl of rustic, homemade cinnamon-scented applesauce that comes together in no time.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 medium-sized slightly sweet apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • Pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and core the apples, and then dice them into small chunks.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the apples, sugar, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stirring occasionally, cook until the apples have softened, about 30-40 minutes.
  3. Using a blender, food processor, or potato masher, break down the apples, making sure to keep the consistency somewhat chunky. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 7-10 days.
