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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. This applesauce is delicious served warm or cold.
