Homemade Vegan Cinnamon Applesauce

Do you make your own applesauce? If not, here’s your start. Homemade applesauce is so easy and takes a million times better than anything store bought. And the best part – make it however you want. More chunky? Extra cinnamon? Yes please!

Ingredients:

• 4 Apples (we like gala or honeycrisp)
• 1/2 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Raw Sugar (or regular white sugar)
• 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
• 2 tsp. Cinnamon

Directions:

1. Cut apples into small chunks and add them into a pot over medium heat.
2. Add in water, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon – cover.
3. Allow to cook down for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Once the apples have become soft, lower the heat and begin to mash them. You can do this to your liking. We prefer a bit more chunky applesauce, but if you want very smooth applesauce, just keep mashing!
5. And that’s it! Serve hot or cold and enjoy.

Looking for sugar-free or unsweetened applesauce? No problem. Just leave out some or all of the sugar. Depending on which apples you use, they can often be sweet enough as is
