- 16 ounces Strawberries hulled and chopped
- ½ cup Water
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the chopped apples, water, and cinnamon to a large saucepan or stockpot.

Notes
The sweetness of this applesauce will depend on the apples and strawberries used. Naturally sweet apple varieties can help keep the recipe free of added sugar.
For a chunkier texture, pulse the mixture instead of blending until completely smooth.
Store leftover strawberry applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days.
