Tools
- Cutting board
- Apple peeler

- Measuring spoons
- Stove
- Large pot
- Food processor / Potato masher
Ingredients
- Apples (6 apples)
- Lemon Juice (2 tablespoons)
- Nature’s Flavors SweetenFX Sugar (¼ cup)
- Water (½ cup)
- Ground Cinnamon (½ teaspoon)
- Salt (¼ teaspoon)
Step by step
- Peel, core, and chop up all of your apples. We used Gala apples for our applesauce but it’s all personal preference. There’s nothing wrong with experimenting!
- Place apples in a large pot and add water, lemon juice, Nature’s Flavors SweetenFX sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Bring everything to a boil on high heat.
- Once you’ve reached a boil, turn to a low heat and cover the pot.
- Keep your apples at a low simmer for about 30 minutes or until you notice that the apples are soft and completely cooked.
- Remove the apples from heat.
- We opted for a smoother applesauce so we used a food processor to blend everything together.
- Serve hot or cold and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a chunkier applesauce, try using a potato masher instead of a food processor.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar used in this recipe depending on your own personal preference.
