Experience the wonderful flavors and smells of Fall in your home by making this flavorful, no sugar added Stovetop Applesauce Recipe. It’s like potpourri you can eat!
Start by slicing your apples all about the same thickness. Using a tool like a “apple-peeler-corer-slicer” is a major time saver and does a wonderful job at preserving as much apple as possible.
Then you’ll add about ¼ – ½ cups of water to the pot. If you happen to have apple juice around, this makes a wonderful substitute for water.
We love to throw in a few full cinnamon sticks to the pot to infuse the flavor to the max! I even added a couple of pieces of whole Allspice.
Bring the apples to a slow simmer and stir occasionally. They will reduce in size and release their juices. When the apples are fork tender, you can remove from heat.
