Ingredients

  • 8 Tablespoon (1.20 kg) medium apples, halved, seeded
  • 4 Tablespoon (30 g) pitted medjool dates, or 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon peeled, or 4 Tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the lemon, leaving just the flesh.
  2. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  3. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Blend for 1 minute.

Chef's Notes

Remove skin from half of the apples for a lighter colored applesauce. If you prefer a chunkier style applesauce, turn to Variable 6 instead of the highest speed and blend.
