Save those bruised apples for your next pot of homemade applesauce. A warming, nutritious staple you’ll be making on a regular basis as the weather turns cold. Stovetop applesauce is an easy and package-free alternative to the store bought variety, without any added sugar or preservatives, in under 30 minutes. A favorite fall recipe, it’s nostalgic in all the right ways. You’ll want to make a pot just for the smell, trust me.
(If you have leftovers from making this apple spelt cake…) You can use a mix of apple varieties for a depth of flavor. With a little cinnamon and lemon this is a go-to recipe for your next bowlful. Great for baking, savory dishes, or just a spoonful (or several!) on its own, cinnamon applesauce is a perfect guilt-free dessert to celebrate the season.
Make sure to save those apple scraps for this low waste, package-free apple cider vinegar!
