Applesauce is totally easy to make at home. Homemade applesauce tastes much better than the store-bought! For baby food just leave out the lemon, sugar and cinnamon!
I used to get annoyed throwing away half the jar of applesauce from the supermarket. We never ate the whole thing. Since I can’t buy applesauce in India, I just started making it myself. It’s totally easy and hardly any work!
Homemade you can vary the amount of course, you don’t have to make the 500g that I have as a base in the recipe below. The 500g would be mostly too much for us.
Tastes absolutely great with potato fritters or Kaiserschmarrn and kids love it!

Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 500 g sour apples
- ½ lemon (omit for baby food)
- 2-3 cm cinnamon (omit for baby food)
- 2 Tbsp sugar (omit for baby food)
- 3 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Squeeze one half of a lemon and set aside.
- Peel and core the apples. Cut the apple into small pieces about 2cm in size.
- Mix the lemon juice with the apple pieces. This way they won't turn brown so quickly and will keep their color.
- Bring the water together with the cinnamon, sugar and apple pieces to a boil in a small saucepan and steam over a mild heat with a lid for 15 minutes until soft.
- Finely puree the apple pieces without the cinnamon either with a hand blender or in a stand mixer.
