Tips for Making the Best Baked Applesauce

* **Choose the right apples:** The best apples for baked applesauce are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. These apples will hold their shape and not become too mushy when baked. * **Prepare the apples properly:** Before baking, core and peel the apples. You can use a paring knife or an apple corer to remove the core. Be sure to cut the apples into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. * **Add some spices:** To enhance the flavor of the applesauce, add some spices to the baking dish. Common spices used in baked applesauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. * **Use a baking dish that is the right size:** The baking dish should be large enough to hold the apples in a single layer. If the apples are too crowded, they will not cook evenly. * **Bake the applesauce at the right temperature:** The ideal temperature for baking applesauce is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature will allow the apples to cook through without burning. * **Stir the applesauce occasionally:** As the applesauce bakes, stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the baking dish. * **Let the applesauce cool before serving:** Once the applesauce is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will give it time to thicken and develop its flavor. ###
