SPICED APPLESAUCE



Spiced Applesauce image

I'm on a search for the best homemade applesauce. Here is one that I've tried from Quick Cooking - I make it in a crock pot instead of on top of the stove. Add more or less sugar depending on your preference.

BLUEBERRY APPLESAUCE (VEGITARIAN FRIENDLY)



Blueberry Applesauce (Vegitarian Friendly) image

Inspired by Healthy Pick's Blueberry-Pomegranate Applesauce. I don't know if this tastes like Healthy Pick's because I've never sampled theirs. This is a copycat recipe in the sense that I copied the ingredients and embellished with my own. Please substitute another sweetener of your choice. Ingredient amounts are estimated. I had visions of blueberry pie dancing in my head while composing this recipe...

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb apple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
heaping 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries which don't have to be thawed)
1 small cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or 1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons honey, to taste (I used local blackberry honey)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, to taste

Steps:

  • Place the apples, blueberries, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses and apple juice (or water) into a deep, heavy sauce pan.
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat to simmer and cook until apples are very tender and the blueberries have dissolved and become saucy.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Remove cinnamon stick. Puree the sauce to desired consistency either in a food processor or blender. Or-very carefully puree using an immersion blender. Be careful not to burn yourself because it hurts when the applesauce splatters!
  • Transfer to a storage container. Stir in the almond extract.
  • Taste the applesauce and if you think it needs sugar, go ahead and add some to desired sweetness.
