Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 6 lbs tart apples (any will do)
- 3 cups light brown sugar
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp apple pie spice (or cinnamon if you don't have this on hand)
- 4 tbsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and core all apples. Then cut up into large chunks.
- Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot or if using less apples, a large saucepan.
- Cook on medium- heat for roughly an hour, until apples have steamed and cooked down.
- Using the immersion blender, blend all the apples into applesauce.
- Now reduce heat to medium-low and allow to cook for 2-3 hours until the apples have browned and significantly reduced. Blend again for extra smoothness - trust me, just blend twice as long as you think you need. It will make it silky!
- Enjoy!
