Ingredients
- 8 apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of cloves
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
-
Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
-
Cover and cook until apples are soft, about 20-25 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth.
-
Serve warm or cold.
Recipe Notes
- You can use any of your favorite apples, but mix of varieties will be even more flavorful.
- I love the depth of flavor that apple cider and brown sugar impart, but regular granulated sugar and water will work as substitutes.
- For a more rustic or chunky applesauce, leave the skins on.
