Categories     Condiment     Snack

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and chopped in bite-size pieces
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon ((plus more to taste))
2-3 Tbsp water
1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar ((for preserving / keeping fresh longer / tartness))
1-2 tsp maple syrup ((or other sweetener of choice // optional) )

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



Quick Homemade Applesauce - No Sugar Added image

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!

Categories     Sauces

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 1/2 cups water
2 thin lemon slices
1/4 teaspoon salt

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.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 238.7, Fat 0.5, SaturatedFat 0.1, Sodium 3.9, Carbohydrate 62.7, Fiber 6.5, Sugar 53.3, Protein 0.7

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples offer unique flavors and textures, so combining several types can create a more complex and interesting applesauce.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness or tartness from the applesauce.
  • Don't add too much sweetener: A little bit of sweetener can enhance the natural sweetness of the apples, but too much can make the applesauce too sweet and overpowering.
  • Add spices to taste: The spices listed in the recipe are just suggestions. Feel free to experiment with different combinations to create a flavor profile that you enjoy.
  • Cook the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency: Some people prefer a smooth applesauce, while others prefer a chunkier texture. Cook the applesauce for a shorter amount of time for a chunkier sauce, or for a longer amount of time for a smoother sauce.

Conclusion:

This sugar-free spiced applesauce is a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The applesauce is naturally sweetened with apples and spices, and it is a good source of fiber and vitamins.
