Peel, core, and slice the apples.

Add 1 cup of water to a pot with the apples.

Let the apples simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes until they are soft.

Use a masher to break up some of the larger pieces of apple (optional).

Blend the softened apples using an immersion blender until smooth.

If using a regular blender, follow the manufacturer's instructions for blending hot food to avoid splatters.

Scoop the applesauce into freezer-safe containers for storage.

Let the applesauce cool completely before sealing the containers.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 1 year.
