Ingredients

  • 8-10 small to medium apples
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves

Instructions

  • Peel all apples and dice into cubes, removing the core (I like keeping the skin on about half of them and peeling the rest).
  • Add to a large pot with lemon, water and spices. Turn heat on medium, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let cook for 20-40 minutes.
  • Once apples are soft, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the apples. If you prefer applesauce on the chunky side, I wouldn't use the immersion blender. However, if you like it smooth, I would definitely recommend!
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
