Homeade Raspberry Applesauce
- 6 small to medium granny smith apples (or any kind of apples you prefer)
- 3/4 cup white grape juice or apple juice (can use water if you dont have any juice on hand-I just use juice for extra flavor)
- 6 oz fresh raspberries
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Core and peel your apples (I personally leave the skins on for a more rustic applesauce with the plus of added nutrients from the skins)
- Slice the apples and cut them into medium sized chunks.
- Add the apples to a large saucepan.
- Pour in juice/water and then add lemon juice.
- Mix well.
- Add fresh raspberries, mix and cover pot to boil for 5 minutes.
- Once boiling reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally until apples are soft and broken down to a chunky but thick applesauce.
- At this point you can choose to either put your applesauce in a blender for a smoother consistency or leave as is.
- Store in either canning jars or airtight container in the fridge.
- ** I took some of my applesauce and blended it until it resembled a baby food puree and used it for making popsicles.
- Nice tangy frozen sweet treat with no added sugar!)
