20 Minute No Sugar Pink Applesauce Food

NO SUGAR ADDED HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Peel all of the apples and cut each apple into large chunks. Place apple pieces in a large pot on the stove over medium heat and add in all of the remaining ingredients. Cover with lid.
• Cook on low-medium heat until apples break down, ~30-45 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally. Remove cinnamon sticks when applesauce has finished cooking.
• Mash apples with a potato masher for a chunky consistency. For a smoother consistency, puree the applesauce in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
• Enjoy cooled down or warm! Store in fridge.

QUICK HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE - NO SUGAR ADDED

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.

20 MINUTE NO SUGAR PINK APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Wash the apples well. Do Not Peel! Chop them into 1 inch pieces, discarding the core.
• Put the apples, cider, cinnamon and cloves into a heavy soup pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft.
• Remove the spices, and then puree the apples in a food processor. I did this in batches so as not to overload the processor. You can puree the apples to a super smooth consistency, or keep some texture. I chose to retain a little bit of texture in mine.
• Refrigerate the sauce until needed. It will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
