Easy Homemade Applesauce Recipe

These golden delicious apples came from my parent’s tree, but you can use any type of apple. The best apples for this applesauce recipe are ripe ones, and if you have overripe apples, that’s even better! The riper they are, the less sugar you need to add.

Pro Tip: Applesauce is an excellent way to use up overripe apples. That’s why we wait until the end of the season when the apples are starting to get soft.

The Fastest Way to Peel Apples

If you have access to a bunch of apples and love to bake with apples, you need this apple peeler in your life. I loved mine so much that I bought a second one for my Mom, who taught me how to make applesauce. An apple peeler not only quickly peels the apples (without any waste), but it also cores and slices all in one swoop.
