Simple But Delicious Homemade Applesauce


 
Once you make this, you may never want store bought applesauce again!!
Ingredients:
7 cups of peeled, cored and cut apples (chop into about 1 inch chunks), best to use sweet, softer varieties- I used Gala
1.5 cups water
optional add ins: maple sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract
Directions:
Bring the water to a boil on high heat in a large pot, add the apples and reduce to medium low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until apples are very tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the water out in a colander and transfer the cooked apples into a medium bowl.  Mash with a fork until the desired consistency is reached.  If you would like to add a little sweetness, stir in 1-2 teaspoons maple sugar (or brown sugar) and you can also add a dash or two of cinnamon and a splash vanilla for some flair. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Makes 3 cups, 6 servings

How long do you think this would last? A week?

I would say 5 days to one week in the fridge, depending on how big your servings are!
