Ingredients
- 3 lb. apples peeled or unpeeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 c. cubed pumpkin or 1 c. puree
- 1 c. water or apple cider
- 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 2-4 tbsp. sugar optional*
Instructions
- Place the sliced apples, pumpkin, water (or juice), cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a large pot or saucepan set over medium heat. Add sugar if desired.
- Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
- Use an potato masher, immersion blender, blender or food processor to "puree" the apples, keeping it slightly chunky.
- Let the applesauce cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
*If you use apple cider you may want to omit the sugar or add 1 tablespoon and taste from there. I prefer mine unsweetened (made with water or apple cider but no additional sugar).
