Skip the store brands and sink your teeth into some delicious, homemade applesauce featuring the star ingredient – juicy, fresh apples. 

By: Jodie Shield, RDN

It may take years for apple trees to grow, but it takes only minutes to make my homemade applesauce. Plus, it’s way yummier and healthier than the stuff you buy in the stores. No need to add sugar; fresh, crisp apples are naturally sweet – thank you Johnny Appleseed!  I use this recipe to make applesauce bread and chunky homemade applesauce, too. You’re going to fall in love with this saucy, little fruit. You’ll find all of these recipes and many more by downloading my FREE app Eat Healthy Homemade Meals in Minutes. 

 Homemade Applesauce

8 servings

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds apples (Fuji, pink ladies, golden delicious – whatever is fresh!)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups water

Steps:

  1. Peel and chop apples into about 1-inch cubes.
  2.  Place apples, cinnamon, and water into large pot; bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover with lid. Simmer apples for about 20 – 30 minutes or until soft.
  3. Remove mixture from heat and mash with potato masher for chunkier applesauce, or put in a food processor or blender for smoother texture.
