How To Make Homemade Applesauce

Recipe for Homemade Applesauce

Here is a scratch recipe to make homemade applesauce. This recipe will make 1 1/2 cups of applesauce.

Ingredients:

  • 6 to 8 tart apples
  • dash of lemon juice


Instructions:

  1. Wash, quarter, and core 6 to 8 tart apples.
  2. This article from the Food Network will help to determine which types apples are the best to use to make applesauce.
  3. The process is pretty simple. Wash the apples well.
  4. Peel the apples, core to remove the center and seeds and chop roughly.
  5. Place in a small saucepan on the stovetop or in a slow cooker and cook until the apples are softened enough to add to the food processor.
  6. I like to put the apples into the food processor at this point to get consistent smooth applesauce. You can add a dash of lemon juice to keep the apples fresh.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  8. Enjoy your homemade applesauce!
