How to Make Cardamom Applesauce

  1. Peel, core, and chop 4 pounds of apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix).
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste, depending on apple sweetness), 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon), and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, or until the apples are very tender and easily mashed.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Transfer the applesauce to a food processor or blender.
  7. Puree until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  8. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
