Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks for even cooking.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir to evenly coat the apples.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and easily mashable.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash or puree the cooked apples to your desired texture—chunky or smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the prepared horseradish, ground cinnamon (if using), and salt, mixing until well incorporated. Adjust the horseradish and seasoning to taste, if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the horseradish applesauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve warm or allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.

Step 8

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy as a flavorful side or unique condiment!
