No Cook Blender Apple Sauce~a SUPER quick and easy way to make apple sauce.
I LOVE easy recipes, and this no cook apple sauce rivals for the top of my mental “easy recipes list”. It almost can’t be called a recipe. The “core” of the recipe is just apples. Ha, ha. I made a funny (I am not funny, so this is a step in the right direction). Anyway, you should have at least two apples to get the blender going. Blend it up and there you have it. I usually make it with just apples and cinnamon.
If you have a Vitamix or a Blendtec, this no cook apple sauce recipe can be made in 5 minutes or less, depending on how many apples you are peeling. Although if you don’t peel the apples, you can have apple sauce in less than two minutes, most likely. I have made this recipe a few times with the peels left on before, but I do prefer the texture without the peels.
Honestly, I like cooked apple sauce better. Just keepin’ it real. But we always have apples on hand, so I love making my apple sauce raw when I am in a pinch. I tend to get into a lot of pinches, or I paint my way into a corner too many times. So this “recipe“ has saved me more than once! This way I don’t have to run to the store if I run out of apple sauce, if I have to wait for apple sauce to defrost, if I need baby food on the fly, or if I have a sick child. This raw apple sauce can be made at any time. Oh yeah.
I don’t normally cook with apple sauce as an oil substitute, so I can’t say how it would work in that situation, but it’s worth a shot. Let me know if you ever try it. I did turn one big batch of raw apple sauce into cooked apple butter once and its worked.

Have you made blender jam? It only uses three ingredients and it’s so easy and fast!
Or for a cooked apple sauce, try slow cooker apple sauce. I use this recipe with big batches of apples.
Do you really need a high powered blender?
1t? Is that teaspoon or tablespoon of water!?
Teaspoon!
Well, I like the tartness and nutritional benefits of leaving the skins on. Using Gala apples. I elected to use our food processor, as getting blended food our of our Vitamix unit is a bit of a chore. First time I tried this recipe I used a Bullit Mini-blender and one apple for a last minute applesauce necessity. Turned out great. And the grandkids didn’t know it wasn’t store bought. Though they did ask about the brown color, which I blamed on the Cinnamon. You just cannot beat this fresh apple flavor!
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, cinnamon does darken it! 😉
OMG this recipe is so simple. All I ever need is a blender and apples! Love it. Will definitely try this one. Thanks!
