Apple Cider Applesauce

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 pound juicy apples, such as McIntosh, peeled, cored, and quartered
3/4 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more if needed
Pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring the apples and cider to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover the pan; reduce heat. Simmer until the apples are very soft, about 12 minutes. Stir in the sugar and salt.

    Step 2

    Cook (uncovered) over medium-low heat until the apples have broken down and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.

    Step 3

    Puree in a food processor until smooth. Add more sugar, if desired. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
