How to Make Applesauce at Home?

Homemade applesauce needs no sugar if you use the right apples. Sweet varieties break down into something better than anything from a jar.

Prep 10 minCook 25 minEasy6 servings

Ingredients

6 sweet apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon, optional

Instructions

0 of 5 steps

Step 1. Peel, core and roughly chop the apples.
Step 2. Combine with water and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat.
Step 3. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes until the apples collapse.
Step 4. Mash for a chunky texture or blend for smooth.
Step 5. Cool and refrigerate up to a week.

Tips

Sweet apples mean no added sugar is needed at all.
The lemon juice keeps the color from going brown.
Leave the peel on and blend if you want the extra fiber.

Variations

Add cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg for a spiced version.
Mix in a pear for a softer, sweeter sauce.
Freeze in cubes for a cold summer snack.
