Three Apple Applesauce

October 08, 2022

Just like the name implies, Three Apple Applesauce uses three varieties of apples to make a delicious, homemade favorite.

This is a super easy to make an applesauce recipe that is done entirely in the microwave. If you’re not into using your microwave, you can always do it in a pan on the stovetop instead. But seriously, the microwave is all you need to make this delicious treat using fresh apples.

Ingredients needed:

Golden Delicious apples
Granny Smith apples
Fuji apples
water
white sugar

How to make Three Apple Applesauce:

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

Peel, core and thinly slice all of the apples. Place the apples in large microwave-safe bowl. Add the water to the bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe lid (or lay a paper towel over the top), and microwave on high for 10 minutes. Stir the apples. Continue to microwave, uncovered, until apples are very tender, about 5 minutes longer.

Using a large fork, coarsely mash the apples. Mix in the sugar.

The result is a chunky, delicious applesauce. Since you’ll be in charge of mashing the apples, you can mash them as much as you want. So it can be a super chunky applesauce or just mildly chunky. If you’re a lover of cinnamon in applesauce, you can stir in a little ground cinnamon too.

The key to the success of this applesauce recipe is using three varieties of apples. Fuji apples are very sweet, juicy apples. Golden Delicious apples are another variety of sweet apple. And Granny Smith are tart and juicy. The combination of all of these flavors is wonderful!
