Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (try a combination of Gala, Golden Delicious, and McIntosh)
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • Remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick. Stir in lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, tart apples for applesauce. This will help the applesauce maintain its shape and flavor.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking. This will make the applesauce smoother and easier to eat.
  • Add sugar or honey to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on the tartness of the apples and your personal preference.
  • Add spices to taste. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular spices to add to applesauce.
  • Cook the applesauce over low heat until the apples are soft. This will help the applesauce develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the applesauce warm or cold. Applesauce can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
