Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce
Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce is easy to make and tastes so wonderful, like eating a fresh apple off the tree.
Ingredients
- 18 large apples, peeled and cored
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and coring your apples. Cut apples into 1 inch pieces. Place them in a large dutch oven with 1/2 cup cold water. Cover and cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid and stir the apples. They will be soft and starting to dissolve. Add the brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and another 1/2 cup of cold water. Stir, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes until apples have dissolved and are thick and delicious.
Equipment
- 1 Dutch oven
Notes
It is important to start with sweet, ripe apples. Make sure to pick a variety that will cook down and dissolve easily. Golden Delicious, Fuji and McIntosh apples are the best for making applesauce because they are soft and super flavorful.
