3-INGREDIENT APPLESAUCE (NO SUGAR ADDED)
Steps:
- To a medium saucepan (see notes for Instant Pot instructions) add peeled chopped apples, cinnamon, a dash of water (~2-3 Tbsp / 30-45 ml as original recipe is written), and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Stir.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until it simmers, then reduce heat to low / medium-low and continue cooking until the apples are very tender and slightly caramelized - about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Use the back of a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash into a loose sauce. You could also blend with an immersion blender, in a food processor or high-speed blender for smoother texture (optional) - a helpful step if you left the skins on. Add a dash of maple syrup or sugar of choice to sweeten (optional - depends on sweetness of your apples).
- Enjoy fresh, or store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. Enjoy cold or reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until hot (add more water as needed if dry).

QUICK HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE - NO SUGAR ADDED
A quick, easy homemade applesauce recipe that I served with potato latkes this year. It has no added sugar, which makes it a better option for diabetics and low-carb people and others who avoid cane sugar. But if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (I like Braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (Granny Smith, for example). Don't leave out the salt, it's a necessary ingredient for a good applesauce!

Steps:
- Peel and core apples (I prefer to leave the skin on a few of them because I like the taste and texture). Cut apples into approximately 1 inch cubes.
- Add all ingredients to pot, and turn heat on high. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the apples have softened significantly.
- Stir frequently, making sure that the apples are not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add more water if necessary. Remove lemon slices.
- Mash with a potato masher or use a food mill for a smoother consistency. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe apples for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of apples to create a more complex flavor profile.
- If you prefer a sweeter applesauce, add a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or stevia to taste.
- For a smoother applesauce, peel the apples before cooking.
- Add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to enhance the flavor of the applesauce.
- For a chunky applesauce, cook the apples for a shorter amount of time.
- For a smooth applesauce, cook the apples for a longer amount of time.
- Store the applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Applesauce can be frozen for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
No-sugar chunky applesauce is a healthy and delicious snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
