Ingredients
  • 5-6 Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced or chopped)
  • 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon (organic ground)
  • 3-5 Cups Water (approximately enough to see but not cover apples)
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 Teaspoon Clove (organic whole or ground)
  • 1 Teaspoon Nutmeg (organic ground)
  • 1/8-1/4 Cup Maple Syrup (to taste)
  • 2-4 Dates (pitted)
Instructions
  1. Add the apples and water to a large pot. Cover and bring to a low boil. Adjust the water level as you cook by either adding a little water or removing the lid.

  2. Add your chosen seasonings (excluding sweeteners)

  3. Once apples are done and easily mashable, add your chosen sweetener (if any) and blend using an immersion blender to preferred smooth or chunky texture.

  4. Serve.

Recipe Notes
  1. Depending upon the apples and your taste preferences, you might not need added sweeteners. If adding, our favorite is with a small amount of both maple syrup and dates blended in well.
  2. You can include some/all of the apple skins for added nutrient variety, but blend thoroughly.
  3. For basic apple sauce, eliminate the cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves.
  4. You can refrigerator for 1 week or freeze (in ice cube trays or flat in 1 gallon freezer bags).
