Step 1

Peel, core, and slice all of the apples.

Step 2

Into a large stockpot, add 1 1/2 cups water and 2 Tbsp sugar. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil to dissolve sugar. Add all of the sliced apples, reduce heat to low then cover with lid and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Mash apples to desired consistency, using either a potato masher, an immersion blender, or an electric hand mixer.

Step 4

Once applesauce is at room temperature, serve with cinnamon if desired. Refrigerate, freeze, or can for longer storage.

Chef’s notes

Once cooled, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Thaw in the fridge overnight or by running the container under cold water. Once thawed, eat within a week.
