Yield: [6 servings] / Serving Size = 3/4 cup to 1 cup
Ingredients:
6 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 cup water
2 teaspoons cinnamon (or to taste)
Sugar (optional - up to 1/8 cup)
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a pot on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover with lid.
2. Simmer apples for about 20 minutes or until soft. The smaller the pieces of apple, the faster the cook time. Cooking time may be quite a bit longer than 20 minutes, depending on the type of apple.
3. Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher for chunkier applesauce or put in food processor or blender for smoother texture.
Tip: Applesauce is great plain, mixed with peanut butter for a sandwich spread, used as a sauce on pancakes, waffles, or French toast, or stirred into yogurt.
