I loveee this stuff! So sweet and tangy and can be used for so many things. Spread over fruit, breads, make popsicles from blending it, add it to a peanut butter sandwich or just eat plain! Yummy! :hungry

Ingredients

  1. 6 smallto medium granny smith apples (or any kind of apples you prefer)
  2. 3/4 cupwhite grape juice or apple juice (can use water if you dont have any juice on hand-I just use juice for extra flavor)
  3. 6 ozfresh raspberries
  4. 1lemon, juiced

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Core and peel your apples (I personally leave the skins on for a more rustic applesauce with the plus of added nutrients from the skins)

  2. 2

    Slice the apples and cut them into medium sized chunks.

  3. 3

    Add the apples to a large saucepan. Pour in juice/water and then add lemon juice. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Add fresh raspberries, mix and cover pot to boil for 5 minutes. Once boiling reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally until apples are soft and broken down to a chunky but thick applesauce.

  5. 5

    At this point you can choose to either put your applesauce in a blender for a smoother consistency or leave as is. Store in either canning jars or airtight container in the fridge.

  6. 6

    ** I took some of my applesauce and blended it until it resembled a baby food puree and used it for making popsicles. Nice tangy frozen sweet treat with no added sugar!)
