Homemade Apple Sauce

Homemade Apple Sauce

There’s only one ingredient in this recipe: apples. Try different varieties and you may like yours made with fuji or macintosh, or any other variety. The sweeter the apple, the sweeter the sauce. - Jenny Jones

    Just want to say I am so glad I accidently discovered your website. Love the Polish recipes. I have been making Pierogis for many years. I used ground beef, onion and sauerkraut. My family loves them!
    Thanks for your recipes and especially your videos.

    Dzienkuje Pani, for this simple reminder. I had a basket of gala apples in my garage and now I have some jars of homemade applesauce. I made some chunky, some smooth and some with a hint of cinnamon. These will go great with our pork roast. (PS- try adding a little of the applesauce to your sauerkraut when you cook it. It gives it a nice complimentary sweetness). Smacznego.

    Dear Jenny,

    I love your blog. It is one I look forward to because it is uplifting, lively and fun. You don’t take yourself too seriously which make it relaxing to be a part of your blog.

    Questions regards to apple sauce- how do you keep the sauce from turning brown if you are making it ahead of time?

      I don’t know what to tell you because mine does not turn brown. I usually keep it for a few days in a plastic tub or a big cup, covered & refrigerated of course, and it never changes color.

    You are absolutely right – homemade applesauce doesn’t need sugar. This recipe is perfect the way it is!
