Creamy white apple sauce that tastes like you put an apple pie with its whipped cream in the blender… Here is how it happened:
Remember those harvest days when people go pick the fruits of nature’s (an maybe their own) hard work? They have a tree or bush growing so much deliciousness they don’t know what to do with it. They bring it to the office, they give it away to friends, they can for days. Well, this is what happened to me, my friend Elaine had so many apples from picking a whole tree that she gave a kilo of perfectly organic boskoop apples grown in a park in Darmstadt, Germany – to this lucky lady. Turns out a kilo of sour apples is just what you need to make this lushous applesauce.
Ingredients
- 1kg of sour apples (like boskoop)
- 150 ml of apple juice
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup sweetened condense milk
- 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
Method
0. If you want to can your apple sauce, clean 2 ca. 250ml jars with boiling water.
1. Peel apples and cut into cubes. Add those to a pot with the apple juice and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for ca. 10 minutes. At the end smash down any large pieces or use a handheld blender to get the texture you prefer.
2. Depending on how sour your apples are add 1/3 of a cup to 1/2 a cup of sweetened condense milk. Stir. Add cinnamon. Sir.
3. Pour into canning jars, close lid tightly. Store in a cool and dark place.
The acid from the apple juice keep the apples from browning too much, and adding the light (in color not in calories) condensed milk makes it even brighter.
The whole process is super quick and easy, peeling and cutting took the longest…so think about outsourcing that to your s.o. 😉

O delicious Dani! I love a good apple sauce. In fact I grew up on the stuff, so this is one of my favorite things to make with the abundancy of apples right now!
Dani says
Childhood staple for me too, Simone, I remember getting super excited about pancakes for lunch day in Kindergarten, it was topped with lots of apple sauce (and cinnamon sugar).

What a great idea Dani! Actually I never thought about apple sauce before. But this sounds to me now like it is worth a try 🙂
Dani says
Eva, it is so easy, you’ll be surprised you ever bought it premade 🙂

Guten tag Dani,
Well that’s my little German I picked up from high school 🙂
I am so glad that I found your blog. I am in love with apple sauce and I use the all natural sugar ones for baking. Your version looks so creamy like apple butter. I briefly browsed through your posts and I am sure that I will be back often to check your recipes. Let’s stay connected.

Hi Vijitha, my Hindi is no existent, so I will stick to English 🙂 Are you located in Cali? I too try to find sugar substitutes like agave syrup and apple “sweetness”. Talk to you soon!
Marianne says
Yum! I love apple sauce. Especially with French fries LOL
I didn’t know about the milk, we have to try that some time.
Dani says
FRENCH FRIES?! How odd, well not really, it reminds of a German dish called “Kartoffelpuffer”, grated potatoes fried up and served with sugar and apple sauce, you would love it! 🙂
