I doubled this recipe because I had a ton of apples I needed to get rid of. Josh and I live near a family friend that has lots of produce, so I’ve been up to my eyes in apples and potatoes for a few weeks now. After hoping my apple pies last week would have put a bigger dent in my apple supply, I have resorted to making the quickest and easiest apple recipe I can muster: apple sauce.
- Peel, slice, and core 7 medium apples (6 cups)
- Place into a large microwavable bowl. Add 1/2 cup of water. Cover and microwave for 10 minutes. Then, microwave another 4 minutes uncovered.
- Smash using a fork or potato masher, once roughly mashed, you can use an electric/hand mixer till there are no large chunks left. Use a large strainer and use a rubber spatula to pass the applesauce through.
- Once strained, add 6 Tbsp of sugar and 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon. Mix.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
