Ingredients:
- 2 medium honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and chopped in bite-size pieces
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon ((plus more to taste))
- 2-3 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar ((for preserving / keeping fresh longer / tartness))
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup ((or other sweetener of choice // optional) )

- Fiber: 0.5 g
- Sugar: 4 g
- To a medium saucepan (see notes for Instant Pot instructions) add peeled chopped apples, cinnamon, a dash of water (~2-3 Tbsp / 30-45 ml as original recipe is written), and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Stir.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until it simmers, then reduce heat to low / medium-low and continue cooking until the apples are very tender and slightly caramelized — about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Use the back of a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash into a loose sauce. You could also blend with an immersion blender, in a food processor or high-speed blender for smoother texture (optional) – a helpful step if you left the skins on. Add a dash of maple syrup or sugar of choice to sweeten (optional – depends on sweetness of your apples).
- Enjoy fresh, or store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. Enjoy cold or reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until hot (add more water as needed if dry).
Quick Homemade Applesauce

A quick, easy homemade applesauce recipe that I served with potato latkes this year. It has no added sugar, which makes it a better option for diabetics and low-carb people and others who avoid cane sugar. But if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (I like Braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (Granny Smith, for example). Don't leave out the salt, it's a necessary ingredient for a good applesauce!

- chop apples
- Peel, half, and core the apples. Slice them into approximately ½ inch squares. No need for precision here. Just get them chopped up. Add them to a pot that is at least 4½ quarts. (I use a Le Creuset #24. The apples filled the pot all the way to the top.)
- add vanilla and cinnamon
- Use a paring knife to slice the vanilla bean lengthwise down the middle to open it up and expose the seeds inside. Use the back of the paring knife to scrape the seeds out. Add the seeds and the vanilla pod to the apples in the pot. Also add the cinnamon sticks and the water.
- cook
- With the heat on high, bring the mixture to a boil, pushing the apples around a bit every couple of minutes. Try to push the cinnamon sticks and vanilla pod toward the bottom in the water. Once the water boils, reduce the flame to medium-low. Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. It is done with the water is reduced, most of the apples have lost their shape, and it looks, well, like applesauce! If you like chunks of apples, enjoy as is. Or you can use a potato masher to mash the chucks down. Discard the cinnamon sticks and vanilla pod.
- Cool
- Allow to cool to room temperature, then transfer to an air proof container and refrigerate for up to seven days.

- Combine the apples with cinnamon in a stockpot or dutch oven. Add 1/2 cup water.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and cover. Cook for 25-30 minutes on low heat. Apples will be broken down but still a bit chunky.
- Remove from heat. Add lemon juice. For chunky applesauce mash with a potato masher or fork. For smooth applesauce use an immersion blender. Serve warm or cold.
