How to Make Applesauce With Strawberries

  1. Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  2. Place apple slices in a large saucepan.
  3. Add 1 cup of fresh strawberries (sliced), 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or to taste), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a dash of cinnamon (optional).
  4. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and a sauce consistency forms.
  5. Use a potato masher to gently break up any large chunks of apples, leaving some texture if desired. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
