How to Make Unsweetened Applesauce

Peel the apples with a vegetable peeler, then core them and cut into large chunks.

Once the apples are ready, place water in a large saucepan on high heat and cover with a lid. When the water is boiling, add the apples and lemon juice and set a timer for 5 minutes. The apples will be done when they are tender and slide right off a fork when pierced.

Place the apples and cooking liquid in a food processor or high powered blender and blend until you have your desired consistency. Blend longer for a super creamy applesauce.

You can add a little cinnamon to taste and blend it into the applesauce if you want, or you can enjoy it plain.

Store the applesauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week, or store in the freezer.
