Homeade Raspberry Applesauce

1. 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. 2

   Slice the apples and cut them into medium sized chunks.

3. 3

   Add the apples to a large saucepan.

4. 4

   Pour in juice/water and then add lemon juice.

5. 5

   Mix well.

6. 6

   Add fresh raspberries, mix and cover pot to boil for 5 minutes.

7. 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. 8

   At this point you can choose to either put your applesauce in a blender for a smoother consistency or leave as is.

9. 9

   Store in either canning jars or airtight container in the fridge.

10. 10

    ** 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!)
