Notes
- or best results, I like to use a potato masher to get a head start on pureeing the apples after they are cooked, and then finish it off with a stick blender. You can control the texture of the applesauce and blend to a smoother texture if you wish.
- Store your applesauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a few days.
- Use a special tool to peel, core and slice your apples all at once to save time and ensure that all the slices are uniform and cook quickly.
