Zakia B.🍎 Homemade Applesauce The easiest little fall recipe — cozy, warm, and made with ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen. 🤎 What You’ll Need * 3 lb bag of apples, peeled, cored & sliced * 1 tsp cinnamon * 2 tbsp lemon juice * 1/2 tsp vanilla extract * 1/4 cup water, plus more if needed * 1 tbsp butter * 3–4 tbsp granulated sugar, or to taste Let’s Make It 🍎 1. Add your sliced apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla, and water to a deep pot. 2. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20–35 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. If the apples start looking dry, add another 1/4 cup of water and keep simmering. 4. Once your apples are soft and falling apart, it’s time to mash! * Chunky: Use a potato masher. * Smooth: Use an immersion blender. 5. Add sugar 1 tbsp at a time until it’s as sweet as you like. I used about 3–4 tbsp. 6. Let it cool for about 5–7 minutes, then spoon into airtight containers or mason jars. 7. Store in the fridge for 7–10 days and enjoy warm or cold. 🤎 And just like that… homemade applesauce. 🍎 You might never want the store-bought kind again. #homemadeapplesauce #applesauce #zeetheintrovert
