Servings: 10 Servings
Calories: 125kcal
Ingredients
- 8 Large Apples Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp
- ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ cup Water
Instructions
- Peel and chop the apples into large chunks. Add the apples to a large Dutch oven.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and water to the Dutch oven and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Turn the heat on medium low and cover the Dutch oven. Cook the apples for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After 45 minutes, mash the apples with a potato masher, or if you want a more pureed texture, puree the apples with an immersion blender. Allow the applesauce to cool before serving.
Notes
- To intensify the flavor, use apple cider or apple juice instead of water.
- If you don't want a sweet applesauce, leave out the brown sugar. It will be just as delicious!
- Make sure to stir the apples frequently to prevent sticking to the bottom of the Dutch oven.
- Feel free to add more cinnamon if you enjoy a lot of cinnamon!
