How to Make Spiced Pomegranate Molasses Applesauce

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, pomegranate molasses, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are completely tender and easily mashed.
  4. If using, stir in the sugar during the last 5 minutes of cooking and adjust to your desired sweetness.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the apples to your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for a rustic texture.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm or cold.
