Notes

For a chunkier applesauce, use a potato masher to break down the apples after cooking instead of stirring vigorously. You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the apples or your personal preference. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the applesauce using an immersion blender or a regular blender after it has cooked. Applesauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
