Chunky Applesauce

By á-170456

Ingredients

• 8 tart apples - (to 10) peeled, cored, and cut into 1" chunks (such as Granny Smith apples)
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/2 cup sugar coated fruit jellies or to taste
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest grated
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples and orange juice. Cook, stirring often, until the apples start to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon and cook, uncovered, stirring as needed, until the apples are tender but still chunky, 20 to 25 minutes.

Taste and adjust the seasonings and serve warm. Or cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Rewarm before serving.

This recipe yields 4 to 5 cups.
