Applesauce and Peanut Butter Spread or Dip

peachez's Note:

We use this spread on bagels, toast, tortilla roll ups and for sandwiches. Since applesauces / apple butter and peanut butter vary by brands you'll have to adjust for the differences regionally. This recipe is presented as a spread, though you can adjust the amounts and use it as a dip.

What a great combination! I loved this dip! So creamy, fruity and peanutty, very good for dipping! I used a home-made low salt, low sugar pb and loved it.
Instead of adding in dried fruit, I swirled some strabwerry jam on top. Mmmm!
Thank you so much for sharing this great, easy recipe with us, peachez!

I used only homemade applesauce and creamy peanut butter. No addition. I stirred it with a whisk. This is so good. Thanks peachez :) Made for Basement tag game
