Mom’s Homemade Apple Sauce

Apple sauce is just another one of those things that’s SO much better homemade! This recipe for homemade apple sauce is one my mom makes all the time – it’s simple and so much healthier than store bought. 

Mom's Homemade Apple Sauce
Yay for fall! And apples! And apple orchards! And Mom’s Homemade Apple Sauce!

Everything is better homemade, and apple sauce is no exception. My mom introduced me to this homemade apple sauce recipe that she makes all the time when apples are in season. It’s so easy you don’t even need a recipe to make it! Plus, it’s so sweet on its own that you don’t even have to add sugar. Just throw some apples in a pot and you’ll be on your way to enjoying delicious homemade apple sauce that even the picky boys will eat.

This recipe can also be modified depending on your laziness level that day. For a rustic homemade apple sauce, just leave those skins on! Nobody likes peeling apples anyways. And if you like it chunky, don’t even fuss with the blender – just whip out the old potato masher and give ’em a good mash. See! How easy is that?

Since I like my apple sauce smooth, I always peel and blend, but that’s probably just because I’m an apple sauce diva with too much time on my hands. (HA!)

I hope you enjoy this homemade apple sauce recipe as much as I enjoy when my mom makes it for me. 🙂

great recipe only I added Red Hots (a cinnamon candy) which gave the applesauce a beautiful red /pink color and a wonderful taste of cinnamon flavor and left out the sugar. A trick from my mom.

I'm trying something new. I'm using a few of my mega-zucchini's and seeing if they'll taste like applesauce after cooking, with nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. I guess I'll know in a little while.:)

Wow - I'd love to hear how this turns out! Perhaps you could mix apples and zucchini together. :)
