There’s nothing as simple and wholesome as apple sauce. We all loved it as kids, yet we seem so rarely to take advantage of it as adults. Maybe it’s time to feed that inner child! Lots of people think you have to cook apples to make a delicious sauce. Not so! With the magic of a food processor, you can whip of a batch of soft, creamy and delicious apple sauce in less time and with less effort than by cooking. And you get to enjoy all the nutritional benefits of raw, natural apples! This recipe is a great way to use up bruised or aging apples. Some of the more progressively-minded grocery stores out there also sell those $1 bags of imperfect produce. This recipe is perfect for that! Who could say no to a whole pot of natural, fresh apple sauce for just $1?

Peel and core the apples and cut them into chunks. Add them to a food processor and pulse to puree the apples. You will need to open the food processor and scrape down the sides a few times to make sure all of the chunks get blended.
Add the juice from the 1/2 lemon and a dash of cinnamon. More if you prefer lots of cinnamon.
Puree one last time until all of the ingredients are combined and the apples are completely pureed. Serve and enjoy!
