I love bringing home a big bag, filling the kitchen with that crisp, sweet smell, and turning them into a simple pot of <strong>homemade unsweetened applesauce<\/strong>. No sugar, no extras, just apples, a splash of water, and maybe a little cinnamon. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>What\u2019s fun is how different it tastes depending on the apples you use. Honeycrisp or Fuji give a naturally sweet sauce, while Granny Smith adds a little tart bite. I usually mix a few types together so the flavor is layered and bright. A squeeze of lemon keeps the color fresh, and if I\u2019m craving something cozy, I\u2019ll stir in cinnamon while it\u2019s still warm.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>I use it as a snack for the girls, spoon it over yogurt, or tuck it into baking instead of oil or sugar. Sometimes I just enjoy it warm straight from the pot. A simple recipe, but it makes the house smell like fall and never lasts long in our fridge.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make unsweetened applesauce<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Begin with placing the<strong> chopped apples <\/strong>in a medium saucepan along with the <strong>water <\/strong>and <strong>lemon juice<\/strong>. Cover with a lid and<strong> bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For a chunky texture, mash the apples directly in the pot with a potato masher. For a smooth applesauce, use an immersion blender, or transfer to a food processor and blend until silky.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Stir in cinnamon<\/strong> to taste. Let the applesauce cool completely, then transfer to a clean, airtight container.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Refrigerate for up to 1 week<\/strong>.
