CHUNKY HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

This baked homemade applesauce is rich, tart and sweet -- almost like apple pie filling -- and a world apart from store-bought.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h

Yield About 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 pounds apples (about 10), peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks (I like a combination of McIntosh and Golden Delicious)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch chunks
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar, packed
Ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the apples in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Scatter the brown sugar and chunks of butter evenly over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the apples are very tender.
  • Mash the apples with a potato masher or fork. Taste; if the applesauce is too tart, add more brown sugar little by little until the flavors are balanced. (Note that no two batches will ever be the same; the flavor will depend on the tartness of the apples you use.)
  • Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The applesauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Time 8h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 medium apples, peeled and cut into chunks
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on low 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples to achieve the desired flavor and texture. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the apples: This is not necessary, but it will result in a smoother applesauce.
  • Cut the apples into chunks: The smaller the chunks, the faster the applesauce will cook.
  • Add water or apple cider: This will help to prevent the applesauce from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Add sugar or honey: This is optional, but it can help to sweeten the applesauce.
  • Cook the applesauce over medium heat: This will help to prevent the applesauce from scorching.
  • Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the applesauce: The amount of mashing you do will determine the chunkiness of the applesauce.
  • Season the applesauce to taste: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices as desired.

Conclusion:

Making chunky applesauce is a simple and rewarding process. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on its own, used as a topping for oatmeal or yogurt, or even baked into goods.
