How to Make Unsweetened Apple Sauce

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples and water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are very soft and easily mashed.
  4. If using, stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
  5. Remove from heat and mash the apples using a potato masher or immersion blender until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother applesauce, use an immersion blender; for a chunkier applesauce, use a potato masher.
  6. Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before serving or storing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
