With your immersion blender you can keep the texture
of the applesauce as chunky or as smooth as you like.
Makes about 4¼ cups (1.60 L)
4 pound (1.8 Kg) apples (Fuji and Gala work well), peeled,
cored and cut into 1- to 2-inch (2.5 to 5.0 cm) pieces
¾ cup (175 ml) water
¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
2-4 tablespoons (30 to 60 ml) packed brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks, halved
2 pinches freshly ground nutmeg
2 pinches ground cloves
Pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 ml) chilled, unsalted butter (optional)
1. In a 4.5-quart (4.25 L) saucepan, add all the ingredients except for
the butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the
heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 45 minutes, until apples are
very tender.
2. Remove from the heat and remove the cinnamon sticks. Let sit for
1 to 2 minutes, then add in the butter if using.
3. Insert the immersion blender into the saucepan. Being sure to keep
the metal blade completely submerged, blend on High, using an
up-and-down motion, until ingredients are well combined and no
large chunks remain, about 1 to 1½ minutes. Adjust blending time
depending on desired consistency. Taste and adjust lemon juice or
sweetness as desired.
