For a smoother applesauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the mixture after cooking. Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, for a unique flavor profile. A pinch of ground cloves or allspice can add an extra layer of warmth to the spice blend. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
