Applesauce - The pure fruit pleasure—and not lumpy, but finely pureed
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
In this recipe, the apples are preserved and ready to use whenever you desire. Apples contain the soluble fiber pectin, which help lower cholesterol levels and normalise sugar metabolism.
If you want to eat the applesauce right away, do not fill it into glasses, but let it cool down a little in a bowl. You can flavor the applesauce to your taste with spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom or star anise. The basic recipe has no added sweetener at all, so you can cook some coconut blossom sugar with it or sweeten it with honey afterwards.

Kitchen utensils
Preparation steps
Rinse apples, then peel, quarter, core and dice.
Halve the lemon and squeeze out the juice.
Combine the diced apples with lemon juice to taste, 2 tablespoons water and sweetener in a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook over medium heat until soft, 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse 3 screw-top jars with lids in boiling water and leave upside down to dry on a kitchen towel.
Puree the apple mixture in the pot with an immersion blender until smooth.
Boil the applesauce again and pour into the prepared jars (they should be filled to the brim). Immediately seal the lids and let jars stand upside down for 5 minutes, then set upright again and store at room temperature until ready to serve. Refrigerate after opening.
