Washington Apple Sauce
This post is also available in / Esta entrada también está disponible en ESPAÑOL (SPANISH)
Homemade apple sauce is so easy to make! You just add all the ingredients to a pot to cook, blend it when it’s ready and you’re done. We used Gala Washington apples for this recipe, when cooked they become soft, and they blend up into a beautiful apple sauce.
You can use a food processor, a blender, or a hand-blender to puree the cooked apples. If you prefer a smoother apple sauce, we recommend using a blender.
You can use applesauce to top pancakes, waffles, or French toasts. You can spoon it over ice cream, yogurt, oatmeal, and overnight oats. It’s also used as a side dish when cooking pork chops or turkey.

Washington Apple Sauce
Makes about 3 cups
Ingredients:
3 lb. Gala Washington apples – approx. 6 medium apples
½ cup water
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Place the peeled, cored, quartered, and chopped apples in a large pot. Stir in the water, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cover pot with a tight-fitting lid. Maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes or until the apples are completely soft and cooked through.
- Once fully cooked, remove from heat. For chunky applesauce, mash the apples directly in the pot using a potato masher. For smooth applesauce, add the apples to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth (if using a blender, work in batches and allow time to cool), or use a hand-held immersion blender and blend directly in the pot.
- This applesauce is delicious served warm or cold.
