Ingredients

750 grams whole apples about 3 large apples
3 tbsps lemon juice
4 tbsps sugar

Metric - U S Customary

Instructions

Peel core and chop the apples into roughly 2 cm chunks.
Put them all in a large saucepan and add the lemon juice. Stir to coat the apple chunks in the juice.
Add the sugar on top and stir again.
Cover and simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Stir every couple of minutes to make sure the apples don’t catch on the bottom.
I like the apples to be completely broken down but cook for less time if you like yours chunky.
Place in your serving dish and serve.

Notes

CAN I MAKE APPLE SAUCE AHEAD?

Yes you can. Simply make it up and allow it to cool completely before covering and keeping in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat to serve, either in the microwave or back in a saucepan.

CAN I FREEZE APPLE SAUCE?

Yes you can. Allow it to cool completely before placing in a freezer bag or freezer proof sealed container. It will keep very well for at least 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating to serve as above.

Bramley Apples are the best choice here.
Add more sugar if you would prefer it sweeter.
