• Steam or Boil

  Place the apple chunks in a steamer basket over boiling water, or boil them in a pot with a small amount of water. Cook until they’re soft and tender, which should take about 10–15 minutes. If boiling, strain the apples to remove excess water before blending.
• Blend Until Smooth

  Allow the apples to cool slightly, then transfer them to a powerful blender or a nutri blender. Add the juice of half a lemon and blend until smooth. The result should be a velvety, lump-free apple sauce.
• Store in Clean Jars

  Pour the blended apple sauce into sterilised jars or airtight containers. Let it cool completely before sealing. Store it in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
