Sarah's Homemade Applesauce Recipe

Amazing experience!! It was my first attempt at making applesauce, and it turned out to be absolutely delicious. I opted for cortland apples and replaced sugar with 4 packets of splenda, along with a bit more cinnamon. I am already looking forward to making this dish again!!

I had my grandson visiting from Minneapolis this weekend and decided to make him some homemade applesauce. I found this recipe, but I used it more as a guideline since I was making it for an infant under six months old and opted not to add any sugar or cinnamon. The amount of sugar called for in the recipe (a tablespoon per apple) seemed excessive to me, so I used much less. I also reduced the water called for in the recipe as I knew apples release a lot of liquid. I tested the tenderness of the apples by chunking them instead of chopping them, and after cooking, I processed the apples in a food processor for a smoother consistency as it was intended for a baby. I gave the recipe two stars because of the high amount of sugar and water recommended, even though the final applesauce turned out pure and delicious. I can't wait to see how little Andrew enjoys it!

Great experience! I decided to increase the recipe, using 10 apples and 3/4 cup of sugar, but only 1 cup of water as I cooked it in my slow cooker on high for four hours. The result was delicious! To spice things up, I added extra cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

I had a surplus of apples from my apple tree, so I decided to quadruple this recipe in hopes of using them up. I ended up using more apples than the original recipe called for, and I was a bit nervous about the outcome. Thankfully, my prayers were answered! The applesauce turned out delicious, and everyone loved it. This recipe is not only economical but also a crowd-pleaser. Thank you so much, phatcat! I will definitely be making this every fall from now on.

I enjoy using Granny Smith apples in this recipe, combined with brown sugar and a generous teaspoon of apple pie spice. This recipe scales up easily for larger batches. It's a fantastic way to utilize bruised or discounted apples, and serves as a wonderful substitute for oil and eggs to add a lighter touch to your baking.

Fantastic recipe! I made a few tweaks by substituting the specified amount of sugar with a tablespoon or two of brown sugar, adding a couple of pinches of apple pie spice, and sprinkling in some Mrs. Wages fruit preserver to prevent the apples from browning too much. I cooked the apples in a crockpot on high for 30 minutes before switching to low heat and letting them cook for about three to four hours while I attended to other tasks around the house. The result was just perfect!

The recipe is fantastic! The proportions of the ingredients are spot on. I used a combination of 4 apples: 2 tart and 2 sweet. Instead of white sugar, I opted for coconut sugar, added a tablespoon of salted butter, and included 1/2 teaspoon each of allspice, coriander powder, nutmeg, and powdered ginger. I enjoy a stronger spice flavor, so these additions worked well for me. I kept the skins on the apples and after allowing the chunky apple mixture to cool, I blended it to create a smoother consistency and break down the skins. It paired wonderfully with pork chops, collard greens, and roasted red potatoes. The leftover sauce was delicious drizzled over buckwheat pancakes.

This recipe is a total winner! I decided to use 7 apples because they were incredibly juicy, and I didn't want the sauce to be too thin. I also added an extra teaspoon of sugar and 2/4 teaspoon of cinnamon for an even richer flavor. Instead of mashing the apples, I ran them through my chopper for a smooth and perfect consistency. The final yield was approximately 20 ounces of delicious sauce. This recipe was so simple to make and the end result was absolutely scrumptious.

Every year around this time, my family and I visit a lovely local orchard that is family-owned and operated to pick our apples in the fall. I love putting my apples in the crockpot and adding extra cinnamon for a delicious aroma while they cook. Tonight's dinner will be stuffed peppers using veggies from our garden and homemade applesauce, which I know will be both comforting and nutritious. I used 8 big Melrose apples to double the recipe in my small crockpot - it's going to be so yummy!

I have been using this recipe for many years now. I prefer to make a large batch and cook it in the crockpot all day. Once the apples have become really soft, I like to mash everything up directly in the crockpot and let it cook for a little longer. My family enjoys it when it's on the browner side. Sometimes I keep the sugar as it is, while other times I use much less - it all depends on my mood. However, regardless of the amount of sugar used, it always turns out delicious. It is great both warm straight out of the crockpot and cold from the fridge too.

I tried this recipe and absolutely loved it as is, but I decided to customize it to suit my preferences. For my new batch, I used 4 green apples and 1 ruby red apple with the skin on to save time and retain the nutrients from the skin. Instead of regular sugar, I substituted 1/4 cup of Stevia granulated sweetener and 2 tablespoons of it. Since I needed more protein in my diet, I added a scoop of Unflavored Clean Simple Eats Protein, and used an immersion blender to ensure everything was well-mixed and mashed. The result is a delicious treat with 25g of protein and half the sugar content. The best part is that even my kids enjoy it. A win-win situation all around!

"Fantabulous" - "fantastic" or "fabulous" - is a made-up word that combines the best elements of both. It implies something truly amazing, unique, and outstanding.

This experience was incredible. I utilized pears from my own pear tree and the result was absolutely fantastic. A true masterpiece!

I made a delicious apple dessert using 6 Macintosh apples that were given to me at work. I peeled and cut the apples into chunks, then cooked them with a half cup of water, a splash of lemon juice, Truvia brown sugar blend, and a teaspoon of Penzeys cake spice. The result was perfect! I'll definitely be making this again throughout the fall season.

This recipe is simple to follow and the end result is absolutely delicious.

I cut it in half because I had two apples. It was delicious, and I could even reduce the sugar to make it healthier. It was so easy, I can't believe I didn't make it before.

Absolutely perfect! I intentionally left a few chunks for added texture. Enjoy!

This recipe was incredibly simple to follow and the outcome was absolutely astounding. I have a deep affection for applesauce! For my second attempt at making it, I decided to swap white sugar for honey for a healthier alternative. The taste remained just as delightful!

I absolutely adore this recipe. I decided to incorporate some strawberries into my apple sauce, and the result was amazing. My family couldn't get enough of it. They proclaimed it as the most delicious they've ever had. I will definitely be preparing it again.

I followed the recipe instructions precisely. I believe the issue some individuals may encounter with excess water is due to not using large apples. I utilized four large Fuji apples and blended the mixture with an immersion blender after cooking. The result was absolutely perfect!
