Equipment
- Stockpot
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing spoon
- Blender
Ingredients
- 5 lbs apples of your choice (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Cut apples into thin slices. If using presliced frozen apples, no need to thaw.
- Place apples into stockpot and turn burner on medium-low heat.
- Add the honey and water and cinnamon (if using) and stir to combine.
- Continue to heat until apples become soft, stirring occasionally.
- Spoon apple mixture into a blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until desired consistency is reached. We like our applesauce pretty chunky so I don't blend for long.
- Serve warm with another dash of cinnamon, if desired.
- Store remaining applesauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze in smaller portions for later.
- To reheat, cook over low heat in a small saucepan until warm.
