Homemade Applesauce

DessertsDairy FreeDetox Friendlygluten-freeJoyous ComfortKid FriendlyVegan

Ingredients

  • 10-12 organic apples cored and sliced into chunks, any kind -- royal gala, pink lady, honey crisp, fuji
  • 1 tsp organic ground cinnamon
  • Filtered water see below

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  • Place apple slices in a large baking dish. I used my Le Creuset pot.
  • Sprinkle apples with cinnamon. Add enough water to the pot to come up about a quarter of an inch on the sides. This is to help bake the apples by creating steam.
  • Bake covered for 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are soft.
  • Once finished baking let cool slightly then transfer to a blender or a food processor and blend until smooth*.
  • Refrigerate for 1 week or freeze for a few months.

Notes

*I blended until the applesauce was super smooth because I'm using it as a baby food for my 6 month old. If you are making it for yourself or an older child then you could blend less to have some nice chunks.
