Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds apples, such as McIntosh, Gala, and Braeburn
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and slice apples.
  • In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, spices, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Mash with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor until smooth with small chunks remaining. (Add sugar, if using.)
  • Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.
