Applesauce
With no preservatives and all-natural ingredients, homemade applesauce just tastes better. A lot better. And you’ll be glad you made the effort, however easy it is.
Ingredients
- 4 (560 g) medium apples, halved, seeded
- ½ lemon, peeled, or 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 (30 g) Medjool dates, or 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 cinnamon stick, 2 inches, or 1 teaspoons ground
Directions
- With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the lemon, leaving just the flesh.
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Blend for 1 minute.
Notes
Remove skin from half of the apples for a lighter colored applesauce. If you prefer a chunkier style applesauce, turn to Variable 6 instead of the highest speed and blend.

Very easy and tasty
My only change next time will be to process for a MUCH shorter time. This tastes like apple fluff more than sauce, but the flavours can't be beat.

Terrific, but so many variations!
I love to add frozen fruits (no sugar added) to my applesauce. For example, Two apples plus 10 frozen (thawed) cherries is delicious. I also add in a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and some honey.

I love to make this with granny Smith apples, and I add in about 2 tbsp Brown sugar and about 3/4 tap cinnamon. Especially Love to make it to go with pork chops. Love love LOVE!

Raw Applesauce
After purchasing my Vitamix 8 years ago, I have not bought store-bought applesauce. Why would I even think about buying it when I have this amazing machine to make it in. I would recommend it to anyone who has a Vitamix to make their own.

No need for agave!
This is so simple and easy. I omitted the agave and used only lemon and cinnamon. Can't get any better than this.

Instant Applesauce
This applesauce is a winner if you use crisp apples, such as galas. I omitted the agave nectar. The apples were sweet enough. The texture was great unless you overmix it. This applesauce looks like the recipe my grandmother cooked on the stove.
