It's so easy to make a small batch of homemade applesauce. This recipe includes brown sugar and cinnamon but you can skip those if you'd like.
Prepare the Apples
Add 1-inch of water to a small saucepan. Peel, core, and cut apples in cubes, about 1-inch. Place apples into the pan.
Cook
Heat over medium heat until the water begins to bubble. Stir. Add sugar and cinnamon, if using. Stir to combine.
Mash
When apples are tender, mash with a potato masher. Spoon applesauce into a small jar. Enjoy warm or store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Sugar
Add as much or as little brown sugar as you'd like to the applesauce. I never use more than a tablespoon but the amount used is totally up to you.
