Chunky Applesauce
Chunky applesauce is a sweet and simple dish that is great for dessert or an afternoon snack. We like to pair our chunky applesauce with potato latkes. Our chunky applesauce recipe has a bracing tartness. If you wish to make this recipe even sweeter, add a little more sugar to taste. Or, if you want a healthier alternative, check out our sugar-free applesauce recipe below.
Ingredients:
- 8 to 10 tart apples, such as Granny Smith,
peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks - Juice of 2 to 3 oranges (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
- 2 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions:
Step 1. Combine Ingredients and Cook
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples and orange juice. Cook, stirring often, until the apples start to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon and cook, uncovered, stirring as needed, until the apples are tender but still chunky, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 2. Serve
Taste and adjust the seasonings and serve warm. Or cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Rewarm before serving. Makes 4 to 5 cups.
How to Make Chunky Applesauce Without Sugar
To make sugar-free applesauce, you only need three ingredients: apples, water and cinnamon. Combine apples and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples soften. Stir in cinnamon and cook until apples are tender but still chunky.
