How to Make Homemade Applesauce - Gemma's Bold Baking Basics Ep 28

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.

In a large pot, combine the chopped apples and water.

If using, add sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the pot.

Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft.

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.

Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to puree the apples to your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust sweetness or spices if necessary.

Let the applesauce cool completely before transferring it to jars or containers.

Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
