Two-Ingredient Applesauce

Maybe it’s because my mom used to make homemade applesauce for us when we were little, but I much prefer this to store-bought.

It’s quick to put together and yields delicious results.


Ingredients

  • 4 Pink lady, ambrosia, or any other apples to your liking
  • Margarine to grease the pan
  • A dash of cinnamon or a splash of maple syrup (optional)

Directions

Wash, peel, and chop the apples up into bite-sized pieces.

Spread the apples out in a greased 8×8″ baking dish, then top with the maple syrup or cinnamon, if using.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400F for 45 minutes until apples are tender.

Mash with a potato masher to your desired level of chunkiness.

Enjoy warm or keep in the fridge for a sweet cool treat.
