McIntosh apples make a traditional applesauce, but using a mix of varieties gives dimension. You can stir in up to three tablespoons dark-brown sugar, if you like.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 pounds apples, such as McIntosh, Gala, and Braeburn
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and slice apples.
  • In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.

  • Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.
