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.

Now this looks like a lot of fun. I love anything with apples, and this will make for a whimsical dessert or snack. This is the perfect thing to have around Thanksgiving and Christmas!
This is nice, I don’t have a blender so I have to do everything through a small pot I have. I do like your recipe though. I usually add brown sugar in place of the normal white sugar.
