Classic Apple Sauce

 
 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound apples (about 3), cored and chopped (I don’t peel my apples because I like texture, but you can if you want)

  • 1/4–1/3 cup sugar

  • Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for finishing, if needed

  • Cinnamon, for finishing (optional)

Directions

1. Combine the apples and 1/4 cup sugar with 1 cup water in a medium pot.

2. Simmer on medium until the apples become completely softened and begin to break down. As they soften, use a wooden spoon to smash them to your desired consistency. 

3. Remove from heat and season with more sugar if needed, a splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon, if you’d like.
