Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Pounds (lbs) apples, peeled
• 3 Cups water
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) lemon juice
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste

Steps

1. Place the peeled apples in a large saucepan and add the water, ensuring the apples are just barely covered.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until the apples are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Once the apples are soft, remove the saucepan from heat. Use a food mill or blender to puree the apples until smooth.
4. Return the pureed apples to the saucepan. Stir in the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
5. Cook the mixture over medium heat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the flavors meld together.
6. Remove from heat and let the applesauce cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
