Instructions
- Peel the apples, then slice in half. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the apple core. Then cut the apple halves in half (making quarters). Place them in a wide, microwave-safe dish.
- Combine the 1 cup water and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in the sugar and ground cinnamon. Pour the mixture over apples. Using clean hands or a large spoon, stir the apples to coat in liquid.
- Microwave the apples on high for 10 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir. To test if the apples are done, pierce with a fork or cake tester. If you feel any resistance or hear the tester pushing through the apple, microwave in 1-minute increments until you don’t feel or hear any resistance. If you have a lower-wattage microwave, you may need to cook the apples for a few more minutes.
- Using a potato masher, mash the apples until they break apart and mix fully with the liquid. This may take a few minutes. The mixture will appear watery at first, but the mashing will cause the water to absorb into the applesauce. This is a chunky applesauce, so the final mixture won’t be totally smooth.,Let cool slightly before enjoying warm or cool. To store, cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to a year.,Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
