This applesauce is very healthy for you as it has no added sugars or preservatives. There are only three ingredients: Apples, Water, and Cinnamon (though you can add many other spices as well, such as nutmeg, allspice, ginger, etc.). Sometimes I like to add a bit of fresh squeezed lemon into my applesauce, but this batch did not have any lemon in it.
Directions:
1. Peel and cut apples (at least 5).
2. Place into a medium to large saucepan and add about 1 c water (add lemon here).
3. Bring the water just to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly.
4. Add spices and continue stirring the mixture.
5. Continue to cook until apples start to mush on their own (if the water evaporates add more water a few Tbsp at a time). As soon as the apples are soft you can stop cooking (if you want more chunky sauce). The longer you cook the smoother your applesauce will be.
*Tip 1: If you add too much water simply continue to simmer the applesauce until more water evaporates out of it.
*Tip 2: You can also stop the cooking process way earlier and use this as an apple pie filling after adding a few extra ingredients.
