I don't know about you, but I don't love store bought applesauce. The taste and texture are just not great to me. But I love my mom's homemade slightly chunky canned cinnamon applesauce so I was super happy to be able to can some with her this fall, this time making a batch of Whole30 no sugar compliant just for me. It was a lot easier than I thought and turned out great! If you don't have canning equipment, just make a much smaller batch and keep in the refrigerator, eating immediately. Golden Delicious apples are naturally sweet which makes them a great choice for an unsweetened applesauce. You can mash the apples, use a blender, or the easiest way is with an immersion blender. Hope you enjoy!
