Raspberry Applesauce With Chia image

Colorful and delicious, this isn't any ordinary applesauce. Adding chia seeds amps up the nutritional value of this snack; chia is high in calcium and a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds sweet apples, such as Fuji, Pink Lady, or Macintosh, peeled, cored, quartered, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Steps:

  • Heat apples, 1/2 cup water, and cinnamon in a medium pot over medium-high. Bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until apples are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add raspberries; cook, stirring, until juicy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle with chia seeds. Let cool slightly, then mash. (If too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Applesauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
