Instructions
 

  • Peel, core, and chop the apples into 2-inch chunks. In a large Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple chunks, maple syrup, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Cover and simmer for about 12 minutes or until the apples have softened a bit.
  • Uncover pot and stir occasionally to break up chunks (5 to 10 additional minutes) until soft, but not mushy. Remove from heat and adjust to taste.
  • If you want a fine applesauce, use a blender in batches. Serve warm or cold, on oatmeal, pancakes, yogurt and/or top with ice cream, walnuts, etc. Refrigerate for up to one week.
