Raspberry Applesauce

6 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs apples, peeled cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup raspberry jam (or to taste)
  • sugar (to taste) (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (optional, helps retain color)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large saucepan, combine apples with 1 cinnamon stick, jam, and water; bring to a boil.
  2. 2
    Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender (about 30 to 35 minutes). Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
  3. 3
    Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick.
  4. 4
    Stir in 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice.
  5. 5
    The sauce will be somewhat chunky. If you prefer it smoother, puree it in a blender or food processor.
