RECIPE BY Cooking Light

For best results, choose apples that break down easily when cooked, such as Gala, Pink Lady, and Braeburn. The sauce is delicious paired with roast turkey or pork, and you can prepare it up to three days ahead. Serve it warm, at room temperature, or chilled to suit your preference.

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and halved

This is a fantastic, easy recipe. It is great hot or cold, and is a great use for organic apples. Such a huge difference from store bought!

Delicious! I make this every year for Thanksgiving. It goes great with turkey. I use gala apples, love that it comes out chunky. Makes the house smell wonderful while cooking too!

Absolutely delicious! I used Gala apples, which worked well, though I pureed the sauce just a little bit in a food processor, as the apples didn't break down all the way. I think I will reduce the amount of sugar a bit next time, since it was a little on the sweet side. This applesauce is wonderful for dessert, served warm with vanilla ice cream. Very satisfying! I will definitely be making this again.
