Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Peel the apples for a smooth sauce, or leave the skin on for a chunkier textured sauce.
  • For a really smooth sauce, blitz with a stick blender.
  • If you are eating apples, there is no need to add sugar.
  • Apple sauce can be used as an egg substitute in baked goods.
 
Variations:
  • Try different flavourings. Cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg all work well with apple.
  • Use maple syrup or honey to sweeten the sauce, rather than sugar.
  • Swap the cider vinegar for freshly squeezed lemon juice.
 
Storage:
Store - The apple sauce can be stored in an airtight container or sterilised jar in the fridge for up to a week.
