Method
Step 1: Prepare the apples
- I start by peeling, coring, and chopping the apples into even chunks so they cook evenly and soften beautifully.

Step 2: Cook the apples
- Add apples and water to a saucepan. Cook on medium heat until the apples soften and begin breaking down.

Step 3: Add flavor
- Stir in white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Let everything simmer gently for a rich, comforting flavor.

Step 4: Mash and finish
- I lightly mash the apples to reach that signature texture. Cook a few more minutes, then remove from heat and cool slightly.

Notes
I love serving this applesauce warm alongside grilled chicken, pork chops, or holiday meals.
You can also enjoy it chilled as a light dessert or a kid-friendly snack any time of day.
