A quick, easy homemade applesauce recipe that I served with potato latkes this year. It has no added sugar, which makes it a better option for diabetics and low-carb people and others who avoid cane sugar. But if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (I like Braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (Granny Smith, for example). Don't leave out the salt, it's a necessary ingredient for a good applesauce!

Ingredients

8 serv.
  • apples↗3 lbs
  • cinnamon↗1 teaspoon
  • nutmeg↗1 pinch
  • water↗1 1⁄2 cups
  • lemon slices2

    thin

  • salt↗1⁄4 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and core apples (I prefer to leave the skin on a few of them because I like the taste and texture). Cut apples into approximately 1 inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Add all ingredients to pot, and turn heat on high. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the apples have softened significantly.

  3. 3

    Stir frequently, making sure that the apples are not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add more water if necessary. Remove lemon slices.

  4. 4

    Mash with a potato masher or use a food mill for a smoother consistency. Serve warm or at room temperature.
