Do you have an abundance of apples and want to make something delicious and healthy? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to make homemade apple puree from scratch. Get ready to enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors of fresh apples in every bite.

What You’ll Need:

  • 6-8 medium-sized apples
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • A medium-sized pot
  • A blender or food processor
  • A fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

Start by washing the apples thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue. Peel the apples using a peeler or a knife, and then core and slice them into evenly sized pieces. Removing the core will result in a smoother puree.

Step 2: Cook the Apples

Place the sliced apples, water, and lemon juice (if using) in a medium-sized pot. Cover the pot and turn the heat to medium. Let the apples simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Blend into a Smooth Puree

Carefully transfer the cooked apples to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the blender a few times instead.

Step 4: Strain for Extra Smoothness (Optional)

If you want your apple puree to be extra smooth, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth. This step will remove any remaining bits of apple peel or pulp, resulting in a silky texture.

Step 5: Store and Serve

Transfer the apple puree to sterilized jars or airtight containers. Let it cool completely before sealing and refrigerating. Homemade apple puree can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer shelf life.

Enjoy your homemade apple puree as a stand-alone snack, spread it on toast, or use it as a natural sweetener in various recipes. It’s a versatile and healthy addition to your pantry!

Making homemade apple puree is a simple and rewarding process. With just a few steps, you can create a delicious and nutritious treat that can be enjoyed in many ways. Give it a try and savor the natural flavors of fresh apples all year round!
