Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and quartered
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, more or less to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place apples into a large pot. Add vinegar, cinnamon, sugar, water, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil on high heat, then lower the temperature, cover the pot, and maintain a low simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the apples are completely tender and cooked through.
  • Remove from heat. Use a food processor to puree the apples.
  • If the applesauce is too thick, add more water to thin it out.
  • If not sweet enough, add more sugar to taste. If too sweet, add more apple cider vinegar.
