Ingredients
- 8 apples - peeled, cored, then chopped
- ⅓ cup water
- ¼ cup maple syrup - optional (you can make this unsweetened as well)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the apples. Then peel off the apple skin using a pairing knife, vegetable peeler or an apple peel, core slicer tool (this is what I used in the photos above).
- Break the 8 sliced apples into small pieces (this will help them soften faster) and add them to a large pot. Now add ⅓ cup water, ¼ cup maple syrup (optional ingredient), and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Heat the pot over medium heat and bring it to a low simmer. Cover with a lid and let this cook for 20-25 minutes, until the apples are very soft. Stir occasionally during the process.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until they turn into a smooth puree. You can also use a food processor for this step. Now the applesauce is ready to serve warm or place in the fridge 2 hours to serve cold.
