All you need is a few apples, a little sugar if so desired, and a small cinnamon stick. You are all set to make your own Homemade Apple Sauce.
You can add fresh ginger or cardamom powder for flavor if you wish.
The apple sauce stays fresh for a week in the refrigerator and for another month in the freezer.
Homemade Apple Sauce
Ingredients
- 3 apples medium sized
- ½ inch ginger
- ½ inch cinnamon stick dalchini
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Peel the apples and remove their core. Chop them into smaller chunks.
- Now place all the ingredients in a thick bottom pan. Cover with a lid and allow it to cook on slow flame. After 5-6 minutes the apples will soften completely. You may need to check the pan for doneness earlier as well if the apples are already tender. Remove from flame and mash the apples completely. Strain the sauce to remove the cinnamon & ginger pieces. Allow to cool.
