Once you've tried homemade applesauce, which boasts a pure, fruity flavor, you'll be hard-pressed to go back to store-bought versions, as supermarket versions often contain significantly more sugar and other additives. For this recipe, you'll need just a little sugar, a spoonful of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a pinch of cinnamon. For a richer flavor, use several different apple varieties. This puree is ideal for baby food, as well as for baking, desserts, and other dishes.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer until the apples are very soft, 18-20 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling it no more than halfway. Remove the lid and close the blender.
- Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to prevent splashing and blend until smooth. Alternatively, puree the mixture in the saucepan with an immersion blender.
- Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until completely cool, about 1 hour. Store applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days..
