antioxidant, fibre and vitamin C rich apples are just coming into season, here’s an easy-peasy recipe that will make you think twice before buying apple sauce again…

perfect if you happen to find yourself with some time off at home and are looking for something to do with the family.

you’ll need:
-10-12 medium apples (any kind will do, sweet & tart together are wonderful)
-1/2 c sugar (add more if apples are really tart)
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-water as needed to adjust consistancy

*follow me*
1) wash, peel and core apples
2) place apples in sauce pan in a 1/2 inch of water, cover & simmer for 15-20 mins on low heat
3) stir in cinnamon & sugar, add more water if necessary, cover & simmer for another 15 mins
4) remove from heat and stir in vanilla

applesauce is great served on it’s own warm or cold, it’s also great over ice cream, yummm - always a crowd pleaser! within the meals for mums kitchen, we like to use applesauce in our baking to help keep things moist while significantly reducing the amount of both sugar and oil needed… sounds good to me!
