If you’re looking for a yummy snack or side dish, I’ve got you covered today! This easy homemade applesauce is so simple that you’ll feel you’re cheating somehow. At least that’s how I feel.
I have canned applesauce in the past, but the past few years I just haven’t gotten around to it. I like to know what’s going in my food and of course, making things from scratch allows us to do that. Homemade doesn’t have to take a long time or leave you sweating over your stove. This recipe proves it!
And because it’s so easy, the kids can easily help scoring you cool mom points as well. 🙂
Quick & Easy Homemade Applesauce
Serves: 6
(Recipe can be made in bulk as needed.)
Ingredients:
6 apples
1/2 cup water
2/3 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp of sugar (I sometimes leave the sugar out or use an alternative sweetener.)
Optional: nutmeg
1. Chop apples and place in blender. Add water, cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg. Peel apples if desired.
2. Serve cold if you’re in a hurry, OR warm up in a saucepan on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve fresh or the applesauce lasts in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
You can also make bread, muffins, latkes, or donuts to serve with the applesauce. I frequently substitute applesauce for oil in a lot of different baked goods to make them a bit more healthy and natural.

Hmm, this sure is a lot darker than the applesauce they sell at the store… and this only lasts for 4 days, but the store stuff sits on the shelf forever… what the heck are they doing to that stuff? ?
I definitely have to try making my own soon, especially since it’s apple season. That dark color really has me intrigued as to what it tastes like…
