I’ve made homemade applesauce a few times before. It’s really quite simple to make and what’s better than an applesauce that only has a few natural ingredients and nothing else? No weird, unnecessary ingredients here. This time around, I wanted to give my applesauce a fall twist with the addition of pumpkin puree. Not only does this applesauce taste great, but it will also make your house smell amazing while cooking!
Homemade Pumpkin Applesauce
1. Add the apples into a sauce pan. Add the cinnamon, lemon juice, and the water and stir. Heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the apples are really soft.
2. If you like a smoother applesauce, pour the cooked apples to a blender. Add in the pumpkin puree and blend until smooth or until it reaches your desired consistency. If you want a chunkier sauce, stir the pumpkin puree in with the cooked apples. Use a potato masher to mash the apples until it reaches your desired consistency. Store leftovers in a container and refrigerate.
