Perfect Easy Microwave Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• In a 2-quart casserole, combine apples and water.
• Cover and microwave 8-10 minutes on HIGH until apples are soft, stirring once during cooking.
• Mash apples to desired consistency.
• Stir in sugar.
• Cover and allow to stand a few minutes.

Steps:

• In a sealable microwave-safe container, combine apples with all other ingredients. Close lid, leaving one corner of lid open to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 10 minutes.
• Using a hand blender or potato masher, blend to desired consistency. Serve hot immediately or chill for later use.

Steps:

• In 2-quart microwave-safe dish, combine apples and water. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap; microwave on HIGH (100%) 12-14 minutes or until apples are tender. (If microwave does not have carousel, rotate dish every 4 minutes). Stir in sugar and choice of flavorings.
• Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Stir and set aside to cool before serving. If finer texture is desired, mash or puree apple mixture and put through a strainer.

Steps:

• Use sectioned apple slicer to easily core and slice your apples (or do it by hand).
• Place apples, water and cinnamon sticks in a large, heavy pot.
• Cover and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the apples are soft.
• Remove cinnamon sticks and process in batches in the Foley Mill (check out ebay or Ace Hardware for Mills). Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Serve warm topped with butter! Or eat cold from the refrigerator! Or warm topped with cinnamon sugar pie crust pieces! Or freeze for later use! So much better than jarred sauce!
