How to Make Microwave Applesauce
- Peel, core, and chop 2 pounds of apples into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Combine the chopped apples, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar flavored sugar substitute to taste), and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 5 minutes, then stir gently.
- Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until the apples are completely soft and tender (about 8 more minutes total).
- If using, stir in 1 tablespoon of light margarine or butter for extra richness.
- Mash the applesauce to your desired consistency using a potato masher or fork.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Optional: Top with cinnamon, a sprinkle of nuts, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
