Homemade Applesauce

I noticed a lot of gluten-free cake and muffin recipes called for apple sauce. Hence, the existence of this post!

Ingredients:

1. 12 medium-sized Red Delicious apples (peeled, cored and cut into 8 pieces for each apple)
2. 2 cups of freshly juiced apple juice
3. 3 teaspoons of soft brown sugar (*optional) (you can omit this)
4. A squeeze of lemon

-------------------------------------

1. Put all the cut apples into a large pot.

2. Pour the apple juice, sugar and lemon juice into the pot.

3. Mix everything up.

4. Cook the apple concoction on medium heat until it boils. Then bring it down to a simmer for approximately 20 minutes.

5. Once the apples have softened, transfer the apples in small batches to a food processor.

6. Once they are all pureed, pour the pureed apple sauce into another pot and bring it to a boil.

7. Allow to cool.

8. You can keep them in mason jars or freezer bags. I kept mine in small freezer bags and kept them in the freezer.

Bon appétit!

Heavenly! *Slurp!*
