How to Make Cinnamon Applesauce
- Peel and Cut the Apples. Take 5 to 7 medium-sized apples(4 large apples). Peel them if you want, then chop them into small pieces. Use an apple without peeling, you get nutrients and a natural sweet taste. (Skip the seeds and the center part of the apple)
- Add Apples to the Pan. Put the chopped apples into a large pan or pot, add 1 cup of water, and boil the apples.
- Add Sugar and Spices. If you want your applesauce a little sweet, add 1/4 cup of sugar. (optional) sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon add a pinch of salt (about 1/4 teaspoon) for natural sweetness. If you add cloves, that’s your sauce will smell good. Their warm scent adds a cozy feel,
Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. This keeps the applesauce from turning brown and takes away the fresh flavor.- Stir everything and mix, then turn the heat to medium to high. After the one boil, turn out the flame to medium to low. Cover the pan and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Check in between to see if there is still some water. If it looks dry, add a little more water.
- After 15–20 minutes, check a piece of apple with a knife or fork. If it slides in easily, your apples are ready!
