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

1. 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)
2. Slice the apples and cut them into medium sized chunks.
3. Add the apples to a large saucepan.
4. Pour in juice/water and then add lemon juice.
5. Mix well.
6. Add fresh raspberries, mix and cover pot to boil for 5 minutes.
7. 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.
8. At this point you can choose to either put your applesauce in a blender for a smoother consistency or leave as is.
9. Store in either canning jars or airtight container in the fridge.
10. ** I took some of my applesauce and blended it until it resembled a baby food puree and used it for making popsicles.
11. Nice tangy frozen sweet treat with no added sugar!)
