Applesauce Recipe
Ingredients
3 lbs. apples – approximately 6 medium apples peeled, cored and chopped*
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup white sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Place the peeled, cored, quartered and chopped apples in a large pot. Stir in the 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cover pot with a tight-fitting lid. Maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes or until the apples are completely soft and cooked through.
Once fully cooked, remove from heat. For chunky applesauce, mash the apples directly in the pot using a potato masher.
Serve applesauce warm or cold.
