Homemade Applesauce

Homemade applesauce is easy to make and so much better than store bought. I like to have small containers of the homemade condiment in my freezer for healthy snacks, quick latke toppings and as an addition to home-baked goods.

Ingredients

3 Granny Smith apples n peeled, cored and cut into chunks
3 Honey Crisp or Golden Delicious apples peeled, cored and cut into chunks
½ cup apple cider
¾ cup granulated white sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cinnamon stick
⅛ teaspoon grated nutmeg

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft and the mixture has cooked to a thick sauce consistency with some chunks remaining.
Cool the applesauce completely and discard the cinnamon stick. The applesauce can be stored, covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.
