Homemade Applesauce - 4 Ingredients [Vegan + Gluten-Free + Raw Option]

4/16/2015 0 Comments
 
Applesauce brings me back to Washington state where we lived on a couple acres and had some apple trees growing. We'd harvest the apples and my mom would have baskets and buckets full of apples. She'd get out her huge pot and spend the day in the kitchen making cups and cups of applesauce. We'd have so much we'd freeze it so we could enjoy it in winter months. I was so spoiled with the homemade applesauce growing up. As an adult, I'd buy organic applesauce at health food stores trying to find the right blend but to no avail. Love was missing! Love is such a key ingredient that often is overlooked.

We've tested this recipe 3 times and each time consumed the fruits of the labor willingly! We've tried it cooked, raw and cooked. Raw is easy, quick and very delicious but for me, the cooked version wins. Probably because that is how my mom made it and it reminds me of her. It tastes amazing, heavenly, the flavors dance together and tickle your senses. Now, you can make your own homemade applesauce. It's an easy no muss, no fuss recipe. Peel apples, core them, combine them in a pot with a few ingredients over med-low heat for 25-30 minutes and then blend them into a delicious applesauce. I don't recall my mom blending, we'll apply my husband's engineering side and optimize!!

Homemade Applesauce
  • 6 Apples
  • 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon Sugar

Directions
  1. Wash, peel and core the apples. Combine the ingredients in a pot over medium-low heat, stirring frequently for 25-30 minutes until the apples are soft.
  2. Blend 1/2 of the mixture at a time in a high speed blender until very smooth. Enjoy immediately, store in the fridge or freezer to use in a variety of recipes or enjoyed on its own!

Notes
  • This is a low sugar version, feel free to add more coconut sugar as desired or your favorite sweetener. Use stevia for sugar free!
  • Use water instead of apple cider vinegar or mix it 1/2 and 1/2. Use apple juice.
  • Add your favorite flavors: vanilla, banana, chocolate, berry.. mix it up!
  • For the raw version use the recipe above modified with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup water. Blend 1/2 of the mixture at a time until smooth adding more liquid and sweetener, cinnamon as desired.
  • I used 5 green apples and 1 red apple. Use any variety you please!
  • On FaceBook , DonHenrietta mentioned: "I use organic cinnamon sticks in water till it looks like tea add three different kinds apples cook until soft mash till a little chunky cool and enjoy." - Sounds like a new variation to try! : ) However you make it, make it to your liking with love and it will surely come out to please!!
