Apologies for the not so pretty picture (^_^;)
If you didn’t know, it is difficult to find pre-made applesauce in my city, so silly me, I had just been going without! Then a friend, 3 huge Fuji apples, cinnamon and a blender came and showed me the joys of fresh homemade applesauce. I like it so much that I may never buy the premade kind again 
Ingredients:
- 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (i like Fujis)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- optional 1/4 cup brown sugar, if needed
——–
1. Combine apples, water, cinnamon, and sugar (if you like) in a medium pot. mix well, and then bring the water to a boil on high heat. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until apples are tender, stirring every 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
3. Blend in small batches in a blender (or immersion blender if you have one) until smooth. Be careful if the apples are still hot when blending!
Eat while warm, or refridgerate. makes 4-6 servings.
