Homemade Applesauce

MASHED SAUCE

I love apple sauce, it’s great as a spread, to make muffins, to be eaten alone with cinnamon… And I just hate thinking about spending money on store-bought ones.

2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped

2 TBS lemon juice

½ cinnamon stick

¼ coconut sugar or to taste (OPTIONAL if you’re using sweet apples)

1 cup water

Put ingredients in a small pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Then, lower heat, cover pan and cook apples until they are completely tender and cooked through.

Remove from heat, take out cinnamon stick, drain water and then mash apples or process in a blender for a smoother sauce. Let sauce cool before storing in the fridge.
