Unsweetened Applesauce Recipe in the Microwave For One 🍎🍏🍋👨‍🍳 | Easy and Healthy Vegan Dessert 🥣

Cut around the core of the apple and remove as much flesh as possible, leaving the skin on.

Cut the apple into reasonable-sized pieces, aiming for uniformity but it's okay if some are bigger or smaller.

Weigh the cut apple pieces to ensure you have about 300 grams, which is approximately 3 cups when packed down.

Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the apple pieces to prevent browning and for flavor.

Stir the apple pieces and lemon juice together, using a knife if a spoon is not available.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe plate.

Microwave the apple pieces on high for 15 minutes, in three increments of 5 minutes, stirring after each increment.

After the first 5 minutes, carefully peel back the plastic wrap and stir the apples, being cautious of the steam.

After the second 5 minutes, repeat the process of stirring and re-covering the bowl.

After the final 5 minutes, stir the apples again and check the consistency.

Use an immersion blender to puree the apples until smooth, blending for about 30 to 60 seconds.

If desired, add spices like 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ginger, and a dash of nutmeg before microwaving for additional flavor.
