Crazy Cinnamon Applesauce
(Raw Homemade)
If I can find a way to make something raw I usually go that route first. Raw is best since the living food provides enzymes for your body. So here is a recipe I came up with for raw applesauce. As usual I don't measure as I go. I just throw things in, whatever looks good, or sounds good and I eyeball the quantities of things I add. So these are estimations you can adjust ingredients according to your own tastes. Use organic whenever possible.
Crazy Cinnamon Applesauce (Raw)
4 Golden Delicious apples
4 Macintosh
2 Granny Smith
3/4 cup of Purified water
1/2 cup of Unrefined Cane Crystals like Florida Cane Crystals
1 tsp of Ground cinnamon more or less to taste
Dash of clove powder
1/2 of a Freshly ground whole nutmeg
1 Squirt of lemon juice or 1/2 of a lemon squeezed into mixture
If you want to try a different flavor try adding some pureed strawberries or pureed peaches, feel free to try whatever flavor you enjoy most. You can even try making watermelon flavored applesauce, just add some fresh watermelon to your apple mixture but add less water since watermelon is so watery. If you come up with some unique flavors please do share with the rest of us! I am always game to try new recipes!
I have a Blendtec but any powerful blender will do. A Vitamix, a Champ, a Bosch all of these will work. I am sure other blenders would work too but you would have to break up the recipe I am sure and do it in portions in order for your blender to be able to handle the load.
I put the water into the blender first. If you are using unorganic apples be sure to peel them. If you use organic you can leave the peels on if you wish. You get more fiber and health that way. Be sure to remove the cores from the apples and cut the apple into pieces. Add them to the blender after the water. Now add your cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, sugar cane crystals and lemon juice. Now blend it all until smooth. If it is too thick add a bit more water if it is too thin add another apple. Add additional water very slowly so that your mixture does not become too watery. After you blend it until it is smooth. Serve in a small cup. Your family will ask for seconds!!!
Enjoy! Here's to good health!
Dearest Lord,
Thank you so much for the gift of living foods. Ones we can benefit from and feed our body with. Your love for us never seems to amaze me! In Jesus name I pray! Amen~
