20 Minute No Sugar Pink Applesauce image

This 20 Minute Pink Applesauce recipe adds the perfect hint of sweetness to every meal, whether it's a holiday feast or simple weeknight dinner ~ and just look at that pretty rosy color!

Provided by Sue Moran

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 4

about 3 pounds red apples (more or less)
1 cup apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
5 whole cloves (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash the apples well. Do Not Peel! Chop them into 1 inch pieces, discarding the core.
  • Put the apples, cider, cinnamon and cloves into a heavy soup pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft.
  • Remove the spices, and then puree the apples in a food processor. I did this in batches so as not to overload the processor. You can puree the apples to a super smooth consistency, or keep some texture. I chose to retain a little bit of texture in mine.
  • Refrigerate the sauce until needed. It will keep for a week in the refrigerator.

2 1/2 pounds apples, a mixture of Red Delicious and Granny Smith (10-12)
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups apple juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
