Tips:
  • You can peel the apples but it’s not required. Once the apples are blended up the kiddos will not know if they had peels or not.
  • For chunky applesauce don’t puree as long.
  • We use a variety of apples in our applesauce. For example this batch had Golden Delicious and Gala.
  • Alternatively you can use a single kind of apples.

A jar of homemade applesauce lasts us a few days because the kids are so excited to eat it.

If I give the kids apple slices or berries to eat and they do not finish them, I go ahead and chop them up and put them in a bag in the freezer. Then when the bag is full, I use it to make this applesauce. This really helps us save money and stops us from wasting food so much.

What’s your favorite flavor of applesauce?

Have a great day!
