Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium Apples Fuji or Gala work best
  • ¼ cup Water Helps soften apples
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar Optional
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon Optional but recommended
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice Prevents browning
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor

Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan Medium size
  • 1 KnifeFor peeling and chopping
  • 1 Peeler Optional
  • 1 Wooden spoon For stirring
  • 1 Blender or masher For texture control

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Apples
  1. First, I peel and core the apples. Then I chop them into small chunks so they cook faster and evenly. Try to keep the pieces similar in size.
Step 2: Start Cooking
  1. I add the chopped apples to a saucepan with water and lemon juice. Then I place it on medium heat and cover it. Let them simmer for about 15–20 minutes.
Step 3: Soften and Stir
  1. As they cook, the apples become soft and tender. I stir occasionally to prevent sticking. You’ll notice the mixture turning slightly thick.
Step 4: Add Flavor
  1. Once soft, I add brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and let it cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Step 5: Blend or Mash
  1. Now comes the texture part. If I want it smooth like the Texas Roadhouse restaurant version, I blend it. If I prefer a chunkier homemade applesauce, I mash it lightly.Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For smoother applesauce, blend while still warm.
Adjust sugar depending on how sweet your apples are.
