Homemade Applesauce Recipe

Bowl of homemade applesauce

This applesauce is delicious either hot or cold and pairs well with pork chops. It's terrific with cottage cheese as a light lunch, and great with frozen vanilla yogurt as a dessert. This applesauce is made with Truvia Original Sweetener and has 45% fewer calories* and 50% less sugar* than the regular sugar-sweetened version. Makes 14 servings.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Serving size: 1⁄2 cup

Calories: 60 Calories

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs of apples (about 7 to 10 apples, depending on the size), peeled, cored, and quartered (use apple varieties that are good for cooking such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, Fuji, or Golden Delicious)

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1⁄3 cup of zero-calorie Truvia Original Calorie-Free Sweetener Spoonable Jar*** (Try our stevia leaf or monk fruit sweetener!)

  • 1⁄4 tsp salt

***or 13 zero-calorie Truvia Original Calorie-Free Sweetener Packets or Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener Monk Fruit Packets

Directions

  • 1.

    Peel, core and quarter apples.

  • 2.

    In a large saucepan combine apples, water, cinnamon and Truvia Original Sweetener.

  • 3.

    Bring to a boil on high heat, cover and reduce heat to a low simmer for 25-35 minutes or until the apples are completely tender and cooked through.

  • 4.

    Remove the pot from the heat.

  • 5.

    Use a potato masher to mash the cooked apples in the pot to make a chunky applesauce. For a smoother applesauce, purée them in a blender. (Do small batches and do not fill the blender bowl more than halfway.)

  • 6.

    Place in a sealable container and store in the refrigerator.

*This applesauce has 60 calories and 13 grams of sugar per serving compared to the full-sugar version which has 110 calories and 26 gram of sugar per serving.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Apple Dapple Sauce Sounds great. Few variations: I would use pumpkin pie spice for richer seasoning, instead of water unsweetened apple juice and salted butter instead of salt

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tastes Great! We love applesauce, and as a very large family we put up 200+ quarts on our best yrs. Adding a little sweetness, really 'sweetens the pot'!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Applesauce! The first thing I learned to make was applesauce, & I love it a bit chunky. This recipe is easy & leaves room to customize. A little pumpkin pie spice maybe?!
