How to Make Apple Sauce

  1. Peel, core, and slice the apples into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced apples and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until the apples are very soft and easily mashed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg (if using) and sugar to taste.
  5. Mash the apples with a potato masher or fork until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother applesauce, use an immersion blender.
  6. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
