Quick Homemade Applesauce No Sugar Added
A quick, easy homemade applesauce recipe that i served with potato latkes this year. It has no added sugar, which makes it a better option for diabetics and low-carb people and others who avoid cane sugar. But if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (i like braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (granny smith, for example). Don't leave out the salt, it's a necessary ingredient for a good applesauce!!
Steps
Peel and core apples.
Cut apples into approximately 1 inch cubes.
Add all ingredients to pot , and turn heat on high.
Bring to a boil , then cover and reduce heat to low.
Simmer for 20 minutes or until the apples have softened significantly.
Stir frequently , making sure that the apples are not sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Add more water if necessary.
Remove lemon slices.
Mash with a potato masher or use a food mill for a smoother consistency.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
