Applesauce Ingredients:
- 3 apples, chopped
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 tsp cinnamon or apple pie spice
- 1 tbsp of sugar
Chop apples and pop them in your blender. You can peel them if you want, but I always opt to leave the peel on.
Add water, apple pie spice or cinnamon, and sugar. Blend until desired consistency is achieved.
Serve cold if you’re in a hurry, or warm up in a saucepan on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring in a bit of extra sugar and cinnamon for added flavor.
