Microwave Applesauce

This microwave applesauce was so easy! It was nice to pop it in the microwave and forget about it rather than keeping an eye on the stovetop version. This is a great way to use up the abundance of apples in the fall season.

This recipe was a hit at a taster event at our local library. Multiple families stated this was a simple recipe vs canning apples and they plan to make it at home. I did not add any sugar to the gala apples, but did add the cinnamon.

Undoubtedly, you are a super food hero!

I learned so many recipes from this FoodHero website. Thanks for the good work.

And, this applesauce seems very easy and healthy reicpe for me.

Our local food pantry had an abundance of fresh pears, so I tried this recipe with pears instead of apples and it was delicious and everyone loved it!  It did take twice as long in the microwave (20+ minutes), but most of my pears weren't fully ripe.  I added the sugar suggested, but when I make it again, I won't add any until I taste it first, as it was full of pear flavor and may not have needed it.  At the end of cooking I did use an immersible blender to make it smoother since I was serving samples and texture can be a challenge for quite a few people.

Thank you so much for your simple, delicious and approachable recipes which encourage even the most inexperienced home cooks to try them!

Homemade applesauce, nothing like it! This recipe worked great for me, did it for a pantry visit and everyone not only took the recipe, but the apples they were giving out to make it with! Works best with at least two different types of apples if possible.
