Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce Recipe
Fall is already showing its colorful and beautiful signs here in Ohio and I am excited for all of the fun things that Fall brings. Apple orchards, hay rides and more. To kickstart the festivities, I wanted to share a delicious recipe for a simple, yet delicious dish of Cinnamon Applesauce.
Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Dessert
Ingredients
- 6 pounds Apples
- 1 cup Apple Juice
- Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (from 1 whole lemon)
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel and core all of the apples.
- Cut the apples into 8 slices. Add the to a saucepan with the juices, sugar and spices. Cook on low for 20-25 minutes until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes, and then carefully transfer to a blender. Puree to your desired consistency. My family likes to have it with a few bits of apple, but you can process it until smooth if you prefer.
