Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce Recipe
A chunky, homestyle applesauce. The skins are pureed and mixed in, leaving the applesauce smooth, but maintaining the nutritional benefits of the whole apple.

Ingredients
- 10 apples I used Pink Lady
- 1 cup water
- 4 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Slice and peels apples. An apple/peeler/slicer would make this process quick and easy.
- Add peeled apple slices to a large pot with ½ cup of water and simmer on medium-low, covered, for 30-40 minutes, until apples are very tender and a sauce starts to form as the pot is stirred.
- Meanwhile, add all peels to a smaller pot with ½ cup of water. Simmer the peels on medium, covered, for 15-20 minutes, until the peels are very soft. Add the peels and cooking liquid to a blender, and pulse or puree until the peels are very smooth. Mix the peel puree into the large pot with the apple slices.
- Remove the sauce from heat when it's at a desired consistency. Cooking it longer will produce a smoother sauce, but I prefer a fairly chunky sauce.
