📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the applesauce:
2
In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine the apples with enough water to prevent the apples from sticking (I use about a cup). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Reduce the heat and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to break down and become tender, about 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
4
Process the mixture in a food processor, working in batches, and puree until smooth.
5
Return the mixture to the pan, add sugar (optional, to taste) and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Season to taste with extra sugar if desired.
6
To can the applesauce:
7
Prepare canner jars and lids.
8
After returning the mixture to the pan and bringing to a boil in step 3, reduce heat to low. Maintain a gentle boil while filling jars, leaving a 1/2 inch air gap to the top of the jar.
