Skip the store brands and sink your teeth into some delicious, homemade applesauce featuring the star ingredient – juicy, fresh apples.
By: Jodie Shield, RDN
It may take years for apple trees to grow, but it takes only minutes to make my homemade applesauce. Plus, it’s way yummier and healthier than the stuff you buy in the stores. No need to add sugar; fresh, crisp apples are naturally sweet – thank you Johnny Appleseed! I use this recipe to make applesauce bread and chunky homemade applesauce, too. You’re going to fall in love with this saucy, little fruit. You’ll find all of these recipes and many more by downloading my FREE app Eat Healthy Homemade Meals in Minutes.
