Ingredients
- 5 Pounds (lb) Macintosh apples, quartered
- 0.75 Cups (cup) white sugar
- 0.75 Cups (cup) water
- 0.25 Cups (cup) fresh lemon juice
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg, ground
Steps
- Place the quartered Macintosh apples in a large pot, keeping their skins on. Add the white sugar, water, and fresh lemon juice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until the apples become very soft and lose their shape, approximately 25 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow the apples to cool slightly.
- Puree the apples using a food processor or food mill. If using a food processor, strain the puree through a sieve to remove any pieces of apple skin.
- Stir in the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- Serve the applesauce at room temperature or refrigerate it to serve cold. Enjoy your homemade blushing applesauce!
