1. Step 1

   In a microwave-safe dish, combine 4 peeled, cored and diced apples, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon speculaaskruiden or pumpkin pie spice and 1 tablespoon sugar or to taste.

2. Step 2

   Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Let cool slightly and then mash with a wooden spoon or potato masher for chunky applesauce. For smooth applesauce, run the mixture through a ricer or use an immersion blender.
