Cooking Instructions German Apple Sauce Apfelmus

– Wash and peel apples, remove the core and cut in cubes.
– Place the cubes in a wide pot and add the juice.
– Let cook for 10 min.
– Puree the apples or use a masher.
– Add vanilla sugar and cinnamon to taste (don’t use too much cinnamon, it is quite strong).

Why adding apple juice? It prevents that the apple sauce will get brownish. It keeps the nice golden yellow color. So no preservatives necessary!
