Banana Applesauce image

I read about this side dish on another site and was intrigued. I had never heard of this combination before, you see. When I googled for the recipe, I got two versions, the one below which is from vegweb.com, and a much simpler one, which, I confess, is the one I tried. For this version you peel a banana and mash it in a bowl with a fork or potato masher. (You can soften the banana in the microwave by heating it for 20 seconds, if needed.) Add a can of applesauce to the mashed banana. You can puree the mixture or simply mash it with the potato masher which will usually get the mixture smooth.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small granny smith apples
4 small bananas
1/4 teaspoon apple-brandy extract

1 1/2 tablespoons raw sugar (and or or caster sugar)
1/2-3/4 cup water (start with 1/2, add more if necessary)

Steps:

  • Peel, quarter, core and slice apples. Chop bananas. Combine both in in a large saucepan; add remaining ingredients.
