I don't remember why I started making homemade applesauce. I think that I thought it would be cheaper for some reason, definitely healthier [and a great way to use my leftover apples from Panera before they go bad]. I will say that one of my favorite things for breakfast is non-sweetened Greek yogurt with homemade applesauce mixed in. And get this. I make it in the microwave.
Recipe
- 4-6 apples quickly peeled [some skin adds crunch] and cubed [I usually buy red ones because they are sweet enough that I don't have to add a great deal of sugar]
- 1/2-1 TBS brown sugar [dependent on your sweet tooth and type of apples.]
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- sprinkle of nutmeg
- 1/8 cup water
- 1 TBS lemon juice [if fresh, I usually use juice and rind from 1/2 a lemon]
Stir together in large microwave bowl. Heat in microwave 8-10 minutes. Mash to desired consistency. [Try it warm, it's delicious!]
