Homemade applesauce is 100x better than store bought and makes the house smell delicious!
- 6-8 apples of your favorite variety, cored and cut into chunks (I love the skins and they are nutritious so I leave them)
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken in 1/2
- dash of ginger, nutmeg, and allspice (these are optional)
- 1 slice of lemon + 2 inches of peel
- tsp of vanilla extract
- Tbsp sugar (optional)
- Mix first 4 ingredients in a pot with 1/4 cup water (just enough to cover bottom of pot)
- Cook over medium heat about 20-30 minutes until apples are mushy
- Use a potato masher to mash everything to the consistency you like, or blend it if you like smooth applesauce
- Taste, add vanilla, and sugar only if you want it sweeter (also depends on the types of apples you used)
***To make it super yummy, add 1 tsp almond extract for that hidden depth!***
