Kids Cooking: Homemade Applesauce

Chef Laura Frankel • Sep 9, 2016 (Updated: Aug 20, 2019)Comment

Applesauce is nature’s candy!

Why buy pre-made jarred applesauce when you can easily make, fresh from the tree, sauce at home?

Anyone can do it and the whole family can get in on the action.

I like to use really juicy and tart Granny Smith or Honey Crisp apples. Don’t have those?

Use your favorite apple – it will be delicious. Have your Mom, Dad or an older sibling help out with the knife work.

Homemade applesauce can be stored, covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for 2months. Homemade applesauce can be served as a snack by itself, with ice cream or yogurt, as a topping for oatmeal, with granola stirred into it, or any way you like it!
