Apple sauce is my favorite way to top potato latkes, so at this time of the year, with all the gorgeous apples available and such an EASY recipe, I’m destined to make my chunky 15-minute apple sauce.

You heard me: 15 minutes!

Just peel, core and chop those crisp apples and add sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and water. Then all it takes is 10 minutes in the microwave, a little mashy-mashy, and TA DA…easy, quick delicious apple sauce!
