This applesauce freezes wonderful!
by KITTENCAL
25 min | 10 min prep
4 cups (approx)
- 4 golden delicious apples
- 4 granny smith apples
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch nutmeg (optional or to taste)
- 1/4 cup water or apple juice
- 3-6 tablespoons sugar (or to taste add in more if you prefer sweeter, can use brown sugar if desired)
- Peel, core and slice the apples.
- Place apples in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Add in 1/4 cup water, cinnamon (start with 1/2 teaspoon) and nutmeg, if using; stir to combine.
- Cover with heavy microwave-safe plastic wrap (leave a little side opened to allow steam to escape).
- Microwave on HIGH power for 10 minutes.
- Remove the bowl and stir the apples, then contine to microwave uncovered until apples are very tender (about 5-6 minutes longer).
- Using a large fork (I use a potato masher for this) coarsley mash apples to desired texture.
- Add in sugar to taste while the apples are still hot; mix well to combine.
- Bring to room temperature and then refrigerate for up to two days, or freeze in plastic freezer containers.
