SPICES

If you love more complex flavors, you could add no more than 1/2 teaspoon each: nutmeg, pumpkin spice, allspice and cloves.

RECIPE TIP

Use an apple corer/peeler if you have one. You’ll need to peel, core and chop the apples.

RECIPE TIP

Place them into the water-lemon juice mixture as you work.

We enjoy a chunkier applesauce, so I give the mixture a good mash using a potato masher. If you prefer a smooth sauce, use an immersion blender.

If you like applesauce, then I highly recommend you trying Apple Butter.

An unopened jar of applesauce boasts a long shelf life, lasting for 1-2 years beyond the printed expiration date

How Long Does Applesauce Last In The Fridge

After you have popped the seal, it will stay fresh for anywhere between 7-14 days. Homemade apple sauce has a shorter shelf life, ranging from 4-6 days.

How to Extend the Shelf Life

*Refrigerate it! *Keep it out of the door! Food items stored in the refrigerator door are subjected to warmer temps. *Go glass! Transfer the mixture from the original applesauce container (if plastic) to a glass jar (mason jars work well!)

When Does Applesauce Go Bad

*Smell test. - An unpleasant odor is the best option for determining its freshness. *Note appearance. -If the color of the mixture seems unusual, that is a good sign of spoilage. *Taste test. - If you detect a sour taste or unusual flavor, throw the whole jar!
