Ingredients
- 3medium to large apples (about 1 pound),
- peeled or not peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch
- pieces (if you leave the peel on, the applesauce
- will have a beautiful, rosy hue)
- ½teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg
- pinch kosher salt
- ½cup water
- ½teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Preparation
- 1. Put all of the ingredients, except the lemon juice, into a
- medium saucepan. Cover and set over medium-high heat
- to bring to a boil. Once boiling, partially cover and reduce
- heat to maintain a simmer. Allow to cook until apples are
- very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes (keep an eye on the
- water, you may need to add a tablespoon or so during
- cooking – you do not want it to dry out).
- 2. Transfer apple mixture to the work bowl. Add the lemon
- juice and then alternate pulsing between Chop and Grind,
- until desired consistency is achieved.
- 3. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve warm or
- chilled.
