Chunky vs. Smooth: How to Make Homemade Applesauce with Just 7 Ingredients

Chef Jack Ovens walks through a simple from-scratch applesauce using Granny Smith apples, lemon zest, cinnamon, allspice, and unrefined caster sugar. The sauce simmers down in about 15 minutes and can be served chunky or blended smooth. It pairs beautifully with pork, poultry, sandwiches, or desserts, and keeps in the fridge for 4 days or the freezer for up to 8 months.
