Ingredients
- 5-6 large apples
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into bite-sized chunks. Pour the apples into a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon, and water to the apples in the pot. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 18-20 minutes until the apples are very soft. Uncover the pot and remove from the heat.
- Mash the hot apple sauce with a potato masher until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve the apple sauce warm.
Notes
- I used fresh apples from the orchard. Normally I would use a mix of apples from the grocery store, opting for the most firm and fresh apples available.
- For a very smooth apple sauce, blend the sauce with an immersion blender or in a food processor.
- The leftover apple sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for up to three months.
