This sweet applesauce is perfect if you need to feed a crowd.
By the time this sauce is ready, the apples should be soft and loaded with flavor. You’ll get a slight hint of cinnamon and lemon, but the main flavor should be from apple. It is a delicious sauce that will combine perfectly with your next roast.
One of the best things about this recipe is that you only need five simple ingredients. It’s the perfect recipe if you have a lot of apples but not many other ingredients.
You will get about eighteen servings from a single batch of this sauce. We assume that one serving is about eight tablespoons, so you may be able to serve more people if you don’t need as much. I think it’s great if I’m cooking for a large number of people and need a lot of applesauce.
Like apple butter or tasty crispy apple, this dish is a great way to use some apples if you have too many. You can store this sauce in the refrigerator for about five days, or you can freeze and reheat it when needed.
