What Are The Best Apples For Applesauce

Which apples make the best applesauce? This is a question that many people have asked, and there are a lot of different answers. Some people say that Granny Smith apples are the best for applesauce, while others prefer using Honeycrisp apples. There are plenty of other types of apples that can be used for making applesauce as well. So, what is the best apple for making applesauce?

You can use any type of apple for applesauce, but if you want the best results cook them down and keep their flavor strong. Softer varieties like Golden Delicious or Fuji will break easier when cooked which means they’re great in a sauce since that’s what happens with these types! McIntosh has much more tender flesh than other hardier kinds so it won’t ruin an otherwise delicious dish by breaking apart during the cooking process – making this one our favorite choice next time around!.

  3. Store in the refrigerator for about a week.
  4. Freeze for any longer.
