Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and chop the apples. Choose a mix of sweet and tart varieties for a more complex flavor profile.

  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples with water over medium heat. Stir occasionally and let the apples simmer for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft and starting to break down.

  3. Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash the cooked apples to your desired consistency. For a smoother applesauce, use a hand blender or food processor for a few pulses.

  5. Stir in the lemon juice to finish the applesauce, adding a bright and refreshing note.

  6. Let the applesauce cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled, paired with latkes or as a dessert topping.

  7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze in small portions for longer storage.
