Homemade Applesauce is super easy, and tastes delicious!

I make this recipe to go with latkes on Hanukkah (like my Baked Sweet Potato Latkes or Zucchini/Potato Latkes!), but it’s delicious any time of the year. It’s a great way to use up aging apples from the orchard or farmers’ market as well!

Homemade Applesauce

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-to-large red apples (Macintosh, Honeycrisp, Gala, etc.)
• Dash of cinnamon
• Optional: splash of apple cider

Option 1: Stovetop Directions

1. Peel and chop apples
2. Add a few generous shakes of cinnamon and a few splashes of water or apple cider
3. Cook on a low flame until well…it looks like applesauce! (Add a small bit of water if it ever looks dry)

Option 2: Pressure Cooker / InstantPot Directions

1. Add apples, cinnamon and ¼ cup water to the InstantPot.
2. Close the lid and cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and let it Natural Pressure Release.

ENJOY & Happy Hanukkah!
