How to Make Rosy Cinnamon Ginger Applesauce
- Peel, halve, and core 4 pounds of apples (about 8 medium).
- Cut apples into 2-inch chunks.
- Place apple chunks in a 5-quart pot with 1 cup apple cider, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until apples are very tender. Stir occasionally.
- Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of ground cloves.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3 minutes.
- Discard the lemon zest.
- Use a potato masher to crush the applesauce to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
- Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
