Homemade Applesauce Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com 

This just took me back to my childhood. We had a family friend named May. She was elderly and made the best homemade applesauce, AND she knew how much I loved it! She would make some, just to be nice. It wasn’t until I was an adult, and she passed long ago that I realized she was having more fun watching me eat it, than I had eating it. It’s strange how food can bring memories rushing back. She used a little cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg, and a lot of love.

One of the things I love about this video is that it's more like "general guidelines". Yes! Food can be customized to your personal taste!

She double dipped her spoon!!!! Joy is spreading the Joy!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!

saw your applesauce recipe yesterday. the wife has been feeling bad and as it is hard to find chunky with cinnamon so this morning i made your recipe chunky with cinnamon and it filled a quart mason jar the best part was the wife loved it . thanks for all your easy to follow recipes.

It can be stored about a week in the fridge.

The local government is giving us bags and bags of apples for quarantine food distribution.... thats why Im here. i always loved applesauce anyway so thank you!!

Oh my gosh... That color on you, I love it!

I have a recipe that called for applesauce but had none in the house. Just happened to see your video on Making Applesauce. Good thing I have four different apple treez in the garden. I have never made applesauce before so thank you so much for the recipe. I made oatmeal apple raisin muffins with applesauce in the recipe and it was even more flavorful and delicious than canned Applesauce. I also use applesauce as a substitute for oil in a cake recipe so one more reason to make your own applesauce. Thanks for all the little tips you give in your videos.

You are such a gentle, soft- spoken American. LOVE IT. Sending love from South Africa

She explains so well good job

Vanilla added to it is amazing! Stewing them with a vanillabean! AMAZING!

I steam the apples (Granny Smith) in a vegetable steamer (with skin) for about 40 minutes and throw them in the Vitamix with 2 tbs of Splenda, 1tsp cinnamon, 2tbs lemon juice. I tried brown sugar on my first batch and didn't care for it. Best applesauce ever, and VERY smooth! A normal blender would probably be almost as good, but not as smooth probably.

You could. Lemon juice helps to keep the apples from turning brown and salt adds flavor.

Twenty years ago, I planted two Jonathan apple trees I got from Gurney's nursery as saplings. I have one of those old-fashioned apple peelers that you clamp on the kitchen table. It's fun to use! Thanks for the recipe!

With the recent events in the world it’s nice to be versatile and the shelves of stores being cleared I never knew how to do this now I do ....thank you!!!!

I love garden apples. My girlfriend has 3 different apple trees in her garden, and neither tastes like any store bought apple I ever had. One has kind of a honey aftertaste, one is really sour, tastes almost like sour apple candy and one is deep red, partly also on the inside and it tastes very sweet, a bit like apple tea. I'm making apple sauce with them today :)

I need apple sauce..and just searched my dearest joy of baking...and here I found lively tip 3 types of apples...perfect Thanks Stephanie for all your trustful efforts..that made my day ever..

Not only babies love apple sauce, after trying your recipe , my husband and I also like it very much ! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe

I literally just make this but with water for my dad who recently had cancer surgery. Liquid only diet. He is going to love this. Thank you!!

I always come back to this video when I want to make apple sauce. Well explained and realistic. Thank you!

Hello Stephanie I really appreciated ur accuracy, telling us home much cups it will yield and so on really ur the best love from Cairo

I made this last night. I will never buy store bought applesauce again! I like how you instructed to add the sugar and spices afterwards, according to taste. Other recipes have you pour in the sugar before, which can lead to an overly sweet dish.

Just followed the recipe now and thank you so much. Easy peasy and fantastic taste. I used 3 Fuji and 3 Granny Smith apples.

That's it, Miss. I'm subscribing. You can't make apple sauce that looks so good and not expect me to subscribe.

love it how you explained everything about the apple's, cooking time etc I'm going to make for my toddler 👌

im eating apple sauce while watching

Thank you lady Stephanie, this is perfect as we don't find applesauce in my country so I make large patch and freeze it

Your recipes are true and never failed me

I like how you explained why you do each step, it helped me scales down the recipe for just the two apples in my fridge

I love making applesauce! I add a stick of cinnamon to mine and the flavour is lovely! I made this to then make an applesauce cake. Home baking is wonderful, thank you for your video!

My grandmother used to make apple sauce. She'd make 2 batches at once. The first would be chopped finely and cooked down completely smooth. The second would have really large chunks and barely cooked down at all. Then she'd mix the two together and add a bunch of sugar and cinnamon so that it was super sweet. It was never meant to be healthy lol, just a great dessert. Going to be making the same today!

Ahhhhhhhh (relaxed one not the screaming off your head one) your voice is so relaxing

Thank you for this maam! Now i can made this at home and eat it so i can heal my self from diarrhea😊😊😃

This looks perfect to add in a carrot cake recipe. I’ll try making this sauce to add to my cake batter for extra moist. Hopefully it’ll be good!

Hi i just made your apple sauce recipe and it was good. I am going to use this sauce for the apple sauce bread that you have. Thank you

Hi, I've been using your recipes for so long omg ❤️ but with this recipe I change a bit, not the apple sauce but I use the skin and pits to make jelly or jam, apple has a lot of pectin and I really didn't want to waste nothing. I put everything in a pan with water and let it cook, then I discard the pots and skins and keep the clear water (use a filter to separate them, you want that to be clear, no bits, i measure the liquid and add sugar, I use a cup and so for 1 cup of liquid you add 2 measures of sugar (brown sugar looks best imo), so if I need I use a bit of that apple water in the sauce before adding the sugar. I don't add anything to the jelly, just sugar and apple water. But I wanted to thank you for all this years of good recipes and precise measures that consider grams 😍😘

FYI! Soak your apples, pears etc. in a big bowl of heavy salt water, & rinse before you are ready to use them. It works better than lemon juice, fruit fresh or anything else :) Your fruit will stay so white!!!

We FINALLY got to see you actually eat your food. About time. ;-)

Nice video, I personally enjoyed the alternative choices to it. Makes me really want to make some sauce!

I lost weight and curbed my appetite by just adding something to apple sauce. I eat anything I want. I just get full sooner naturally. I really love apple sauce. I have at least 2 cups daily.

hi i made my own apple sauce and used the juice separated but i have a 4 quart slow cooker and i cut and pealed the apples like you did but i added water almost to the top to cover the apples as they were cooking because im a diabetic and it taste good and i dont even add sugar or anything else. i love your video.

I have always made my own applesauce. I never add sugar and always add cinnamon while it's cooking. It's so easy and economical.

Thank you, Stephanie and Joy of Cooking/Baking. My favorite go to 🥰 Luckily, we have a surplus of apples and besides feeding the birds, applesauce is perfect for the quantity!

Thanks for the cooking method this is what I need to know how to make applesauce. I have plenty of apples in my garden. I love doing a value added by making jam, pickles or sauce instead of throwing it away. I don't like wasting the food.

Showed this to my apple.... Now it’s applesauce

Thank u very much chef. Was wondering what to do with alot of apples n saw yr ezy n wonderful recipe. As u say Im going to try with meat😋👌

I used unripe apples and it turned out great. Thank you.

Nice video. Here in the Netherlands we eat a lot of applesauce (appelmoes). It is used a lot to mask vegetables for the kids. Almost always, cinamon is added. Most used apple here is Belle de Boskoop, especially when the sauce must be chunky. Some people use honey for sweetening.

Many tks Stephanie.....thorough cook😄🤗🙋

It sounds like you may have been cooking the apples at too high of a heat. It really doesn't matter whether you are using gas or electric, just have the apples cooking at a simmer. As I say in the headnote "to prevent the apples from sticking to the saucepan as they cook, add enough unsweetened apple juice, cider, or water to cover the bottom of the saucepan. (Add more liquid during cooking if necessary.)"

much love and respect, a simple but effective recipe. ps I make your oat cookies regularly

I tried making this apple sauce it is really good it’s so easy to make and it taste really good

i made this and it was so good i also added apple pie spice yummy

Thank you 😍 I also recommend to add a little bit of rosewater, it'll taste like heaven 😍

Hi. Love your videos. Suggestion: Why not use a potato peeler to make it a bit easier? Regards.

Love applesauce with pork roast or pork chops. Thanks.

You could add it, if you like.

Thankyou very much for sharing this recipe. Can it be used as an alternative of eggs in baking ?

nice and informative video on how to make applesauce, going to try it now, thank you

Looks so good can't wait to try it

Stephanie, your recipes are very nice and useful. Thank you for your videos! I love your channel!

I think you're great! I love your videos. You're so easy to watch.

I like the type of apple sauce that you buy in the shop and that apple sauce product with the red something idk what the company is called but I like that type

for those concerned with nutrition, would it be advisable to core the apples, blend or food process them, and then just lightly warm them for a short time? Or even skip the warming altogether, as heat kills nutrients.

This was QUITE helpful, Stephanie! Thank you very much for sharing with us!! Keep doing great things, and keep smiling!

Applesauce on German potato pancakes! Yum!

I actually wanted to make apple sauce so I did that and turns out I made apple syrup LMAO WTH 😂 Best 👏 accident 👏 ever Great tutorial btw just didn’t follow the instructions correctly

My freezer gave up the ghost a few days ago so, now I have tons of thawed applesauce! Do you know if cold canning applesauce works? My thought was to pack the cold applesauce in cold jars, placing them in a cold water bath. Bring to a boil, and boil for 20 minutes or so. What do you think? Will that work? Or maybe it'd be better to recook the applesauce and put in hot jars, and hot water bath. I could really use some good advice asap. Thank you. I love your vids!

This reminds me of when i made applesauce in kindergarden it was DELICIOUS

Stephanie, would you have a recipe for a simple Carrot jam?

Thank you..very helpful. i'll try it later

This recipe is so beneficial. Thank you!

This is so relaxing

so when i comes to strawberry applesauce, what point do u add the strawberries

Very helpful, this is the only recipe that gave weights

Thank you, I made it and it worked :)

great video, the apple sauce looks really good

Hi. I'm Hispanic and we don't use to eat apple sauce that much. Maybe this is a dumb question but, May I store apple sauce in Mason jars? I would like to make a big batch but I'm not sure how long they last in room temperature . Thank you.

Thank you.

Cool came out good

Can I use frozen apples Too make this lovely Apple sauce.

Thank you, but I do apologize, I should hav been more specific. Is there a ratio you recommend when adding other fruit; ie:would you leave out any apples and replace them with the berries or banana? I am not having much success finding info on this. Thanks.

CaN yOu AdD sAlT? I rEaLly LiKe SaLtY cHuNkY aPpLeSaUcE!!!

I needed to do something with the apples in my fruit basket for a few weeks. I hate waste and since the skin was a little wrinkled, but the apple was fine I made applesauce for the first time. Lol Mine taste better than it looks. 😂 I cooked the apples with brown sugar and cinnamon, following a Google recipe and it looks brown. Still taste good though. Next time I will try your recipe. It so hot here, I'm wanting to turn the apple sauce into a slushy for the kids and myself to cool off. Thank you 😊 For the applesauce, do I need to squeeze in lemon juice to prevent browning?

Would love to see you do a stovetop method of making apple butter from applesauce.

Hello I like looking at you cooking show because I like cook an thank you❤ how long the apple sas can keep I mean for 2 month ❤

I love applesauce

I am going to use my Miele steam oven for this. I am making a healthy carrot cake and it contains apple sauce . Should you blend it to be smooth for the cake ?
