Ingredients
6mediumorganic apples (remember, this is the only ingredient, so use good/flavorful ones!
1teaspooncinnamonoptional
Optional Ideas:
additional fruit for applesauce combos like mango,strawberry, pear, or plum. If your apples were not too sweet, you could add a small amount of sweetener or fresh apple cider if necessary...I prefer liquid stevia or palm sugar, but almost never need this. If they were lacking in tart, add some lemon juice to brighten the flavor!
Instructions
Thoroughly wash your apples to remove any residues.
Slice with an apple slicer or a knife, removing the core and seeds.
Steam the apples on your stove for about 20 minutes. I use a steamer basket for this. The apples should look wilted and soft. Alternately, place the apples in a Pyrex casserole dish with a lid and place in the microwave, covered. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Place all the apples and their juices into a high powered blender, like a Blendtec. The apples should not go above the liquid lines, or the mixture will overflow. Add in your cinnamon. Close the lid, and puree on high for about a minute
If you have a less powerful blender, or are using a food processor, this may take several minutes to get the creamy texture and to completely pulverize the peels.
