4 Servings 30 min Cook
7 Large (3-1/4" dia) Apples
4 Cup, whole Strawberries
Core each apple (do not peel!) and cut into about 6 pieces.
Add the apples and strawberries to a large pot.
Add about 1/2" of water.
Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Check about halfway through to make sure there's a little liquid on the bottom of the pot (to ensure that they don't stick).
The apples should be very soft now.
If they aren't, simmer in 5-minute increments until they are.
Remove from the heat and let cool for about 20 minutes and then use an immersion blender to puree the applesauce.
You can also use a blender or food processor but an immersion blender is quickest, easiest and the least messy.
Cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze any remaining applesauce after that.
