Meta Description:
This homemade applesauce is quick, cozy, and endlessly customizable. Just apples, a steam oven, and 20 minutes — add raisins, cinnamon, or whatever your sweet tooth craves. Perfect warm, cold, or straight from the spoon!
Sometimes recipes are so simple you almost don’t want to admit them. This applesauce is one of those. It’s literally apples + steam oven + optional sweet extras = comfort food gold.
The best part? You can dress it up (with raisins, cinnamon, even a splash of rum if you’re feeling rebellious) or keep it plain and pure. Either way, you’re five steps away from cozy goodness that makes store-bought applesauce feel like a crime.
Ingredients
- Apples (enough to fill your dish or your heart)
- Optional extras: raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, or whatever your sweet tooth whispers at 2am
Directions (Just 5 Steps!)
Step 1. Chop like you mean it.
Quarter those apples. Don’t fuss about peeling unless you love peeling.
Step 2. Steam oven magic.
Toss the apple chunks into your steam oven like the kitchen rebel you are.
Step 3. Bake ’em.
Steam-bake for 10–20 minutes at 100°C (212°F), until soft and cozy.
Step 4. Mash… or don’t.
Go smooth with a blender, or chunky with a fork. Call it “rustic” and watch people nod approvingly.
Step 5. Eat with joy.
Serve warm with cinnamon, chill it for snacks, spoon it over pancakes, swirl it into yogurt, or—real talk—eat it straight out of the bowl like no one’s watching.
