Fall is almost here, and apple and pumpkin recipes are popping up everywhere. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, and what better way to kick off fall than with an Easy Stovetop Apple Sauce recipe! If you have never made homemade applesauce, you and your family are in for a real treat. This delicious apple sauce is perfect to stick in lunches or for an afternoon snack. I promise not only will the kiddos enjoy this Easy Stovetop Apple Sauce, but you will too!
This Easy Stovetop Apple Sauce is as easy as 1, 2, 3! First, gather 3 lbs of your favorite apples (for this post, I used gala apples). I wish I could write a post about how I hand picked all these apples fresh off the tree, but the reality is that I live in Houston, Texas where apple trees are just not readily available. Therefore, I picked mine up from my local grocery store. Next, prep your apples by coring and cutting your apples into wedges. I used this OXO Good Grips Apple Corer and Divider (affiliate link)
Enjoy your homemade applesauce warm or cold, but in my opinion it is best served warm!

It was funny to see your post pop up on my email when I was just setting up to peel and core all the apples I had picked up to make some homemade applesauce. However, since I didn’t have a complete recipe to follow, I was just planning on winging it with the cinnamon and sugar. I’m thrilled to now know that I can go without the sugar by adding the apple juice instead!! Thank you so much for the helpful post and I look forward to trying a few of the other apple recipes as well!!
Yes, I love the fact you can use apple juice instead of sugar. I hope your apple sauce turned out delicious! Thanks for stopping by :)

Going up the hill in the mountains near Las Vegas, the car had trouble getting up in 5th and 6th gear; I rode out 4th gear at 65 mph just to maintain speed. Passing on the highway takes careful time and patience to choose the right spot because the FR-S does not jump off at higher speeds once the accelerator has been masked.
