Brown Sugar Cinnamon Applesauce recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

This is not your average applesauce. This applesauce is thick, chunky, sweet and full of flavor. You can eat it with a spoon or a fork. If you’ve never tried homemade applesauce, then you have no idea what you are missing. I started making this a few years ago and it has forever changed my taste for applesauce.

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Applesauce
Recipe adapted from and with thanks to A Year of Slow Cooking
Ingredients
  • 8 apples peeled, halved and cored, I used honeycrisp apples
  • Juice from one lemon or the equivalent amount of lemon juice concentrate no more than 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
  1. Place your apple pieces in the crockpot. Add lemon juice, water and vanilla, sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on top. Toss to coat thoroughly.
  2. Cover and cook on low for approximately 6 hours. When the apples are very tender, mash them with a potato masher or a fork until they are the consistency you desire. I like to leave a lot of chunky pieces in the sauce. If you are in the mood, you can even try this.

    I do a variation on this at home and it couldn't be simpler.

    I use Penzey's Spices because I think they're high quality and you get lots of bang for your buck.

    I use their "apple pie spice" in my recipes. I have never been disappointed.

    The only applesauce my kids would eat was their grandma's homemade. She used Stayman Winesap and after they were done she put them through a food mill. The kids loved her pink applesauce. We used Rambo once too and they were good, fresh from the tree.
