Recipe by Tiffany Kate-Lyn Matthews
Preparation time: 10 – 12 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 can (400g) tinned apples, drained
- ¼ cup water
- 1 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla essence
How To Make Homemade Apple Sauce
- Add the drained apples to a blender or food processor with the water and blend until smooth.
- If you prefer a chunkier apple sauce, mash the apples with a fork or potato masher instead.
- Transfer the blended or mashed apples to a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in the lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon.
- Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
Chefs Tip: For a more intense flavour, use apple juice instead of water. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for later use.
