Chef's tip

Add the sugar after cooking: apples naturally release their sugars when heated, which avoids an overly sweet sauce and improves the final texture.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Freezes very well, up to 6 months in suitable containers or freezer bags.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 5 to 7 days max in an airtight glass container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Applesauce is excellent made the day before, as the flavors develop.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Can be eaten cold. Reheat gently in a saucepan or for 1-2 minutes in the microwave at medium power.

Variations

Blend for a smooth texture.
Mash coarsely for a rustic applesauce.
Add the cinnamon if you like.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the apples into uneven pieces: cut them into even pieces.
Sweetening before cooking: add the sugar after 20 minutes.
Forgetting to cover: cover while cooking.
