Homemade Applesauce

on
Applesauce is one of the easiest sauces and also one of the most forgiving. It can be used as baby food, as a snack on its own or as an ingredient while baking. There are a lot of variations to this sauce. If you want a thin consistency then you may want to add a little water. If you are looking for a thicker or chunkier sauce skip the water.


I made applesauce a few times last year. But every time I remembered to click pictures it was when the sauce was needed for another recipe. I then included the applesauce recipe within the other recipe. The thought crossed my mind that maybe I should create a separate post for the applesauce. That wish has finally come true this month.

For the applesauce
1 cooking apple
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup water

To make the applesauce wash, peel and core the apple. Cut it into pieces and cook in a pan with the sugar and water until mushy. Mash to prepare the applesauce. If you want a deeper color use brown sugar instead of refined sugar.

    Some day to day recipes we tend to forget or sometimes take it for granted too. Used to be my kiddo's favorite baby food, i too must have a separate post for this!! :)
