Can you freeze this homemade applesauce?
Yes you can, store in a freezer bag, or freezer safe containers for up to 3 months or possibly longer if stored correctly.
Why does this recipe not use measurements?
I do not provide measurements because this recipe easily be made without measurements. And it does not have to be complicated at all. You just need a 1 to 3 ratio of strawberries to apples, so if you have one cup of strawberries use 3 cups of apples!
What You’ll Need
organic apples
You can use whatever kind of apples you would like for this recipe! I’ve used all different varieties of apples, and it always turns out great. Some are just more sweet, others more sour.
Organic strawberries
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe, I typically like to use frozen strawberries because it is a little more quick and convenient for my family, but fresh work just the same!
Ingredients
Organic Apples, as many as you have
Organic Strawberries, enough to match the 1:3 ratio
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
Wash your apples, then peel, if you aren’t peeling then you can skip this step.
Cut apples into even chunks, and put them into a baking dish, I typically just use a 9×13 glass baking dish (like THIS).
Add in your strawberries and stir the apples and strawberries, if you’re using frozen strawberries they can stay frozen
Place the apples and strawberries in the oven and bake for 25-40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Once the apples are easily mushed with a fork they are done.
Take out of the oven, and transfer apples and strawberries into a glass bowl.
Using an immersion blender, blend your applesauce to your desired consistency,
You can eat right away, or let cool and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
You can peel your apples or leave the peels on, some people don’t mind the peels, so this is completely your preference!
The variety of apples you use does not matter. Just remember the sweeter the apple, the sweeter the applesauce. The same goes for sour, so just be mindful of that when picking your apples!
If you have a lot of apples you can do this in batches. I sometimes will do 5 gallons at a time, and just stick around the kitchen all day.
Baking time may vary depending on how many apples are in your baking dish and the type of apple you are using. I’ve noticed that not all types of apples cook down as quickly as others.
