A Is for Applesauce


This is really delicious applesauce, even if I do say so myself. It was created one day out of necessity. We needed applesauce for baking, and we had none in the house. I decided to try to make it myself, figuring that it didn't have to be the best, since it was for baking. After it was done, we tried it and fell in love. We'll never buy applesauce again. This is one of those recipes that gets eaten up quickly and seconds are begged for. It's good as a snack or in baking.

(Serves 4-5)
 

Ingredients:
2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
6 small, slightly tart organic apples (such as Jazz or Gala)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
Juice of 1/4 lemon
1 Tbs. honey (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Prepare a glass pie pan with enough coconut oil to keep from sticking. Then pour apple cider vinegar in and swirl to create a thin layer of liquid in bottom of pan.

3. Peel apples and cut into bite-size chunks. Place chunks into prepared pie pan.

4. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon, coriander, cloves, and lemon juice. Bake for 30 minutes.

5. Allow apples to cool before placing in a blender or food processor. Add honey, if desired, and blend to desired consistency.
