how to make applesauce
Do you make your own applesauce? This one ingredient applesauce is easy to make and done in 20 minutes. One thing you'll soon learn is that I love using applesauce in my recipes. It's a great egg replacer, keeps cakes moist while cutting down on oil and makes baking all round yummier.
Equipment
- Large saucepan with a tight fitting lid
- Stick blender or high powered blender
Ingredients
- 1 - 2 kilos apples, use whichever type of apple you prefer.
Instructions
- Wash, core and dice apples.
- Add to a saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Ensure the saucepan in large enough to be able to stir the apples.
- Cook, covered, over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
- If the apples stick add a little water, the apples will release moisture as they cook so add a tablespoon at a time.
- Increase the heat to medium, once the apples are starting to soften and release moisture.
- Stirring occasionally, cook until the apples are soft and starting to break down.
- Blend with a stick blender or for a smoother sauce use a high powered blender.
- Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week, or for longer storage freeze.
Notes
- If your blender seals completely make sure to cool the apples completely. It is dangerous to blend hot things in a blender that doesn't allow the steam to escape, as the steam expands the blender could explode.
