Instructions

1
Wash the apples, peel them (if desired, you can leave some of the peel on for extra fiber), remove the cores, and cut them into smaller cubes.
2
Put the diced apples into a pot, add water, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
3
Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for about 15–20 minutes, until the apples are completely softened. Stir occasionally while cooking.
4
Once the apples are soft, remove the pot from the heat. Add cinnamon, vanilla powder, and a pinch of salt.
5
Blend the mixture with an immersion blender to the desired texture (completely smooth for a classic apple sauce, or with a few chunks for a more rustic look).
6
Let the sauce cool slightly. Serve it as a standalone dessert, a topping for porridge, or as a side to cottage cheese dishes.
