How to Make Cinnamon Applesauce

  1. Peel, core, and chop 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds).
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chopped apples, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are very soft and easily mashed.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices as needed. You can add more brown sugar for extra sweetness or more cinnamon for a stronger spice flavor.
  7. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
