Blueberry Applesauce (Vegitarian Friendly)

"Inspired by Healthy Pick's Blueberry-Pomegranate Applesauce. I don't know if this tastes like Healthy Pick's because I've never sampled theirs. This is a copycat recipe in the sense that I copied the ingredients and embellished with my own. Please substitute another sweetener of your choice. Ingredient amounts are estimated. I had visions of blueberry pie dancing in my head while composing this recipe..."

directions

  • Place the apples, blueberries, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses and apple juice (or water) into a deep, heavy sauce pan.
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat to simmer and cook until apples are very tender and the blueberries have dissolved and become saucy.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Remove cinnamon stick. Puree the sauce to desired consistency either in a food processor or blender. Or-very carefully puree using an immersion blender. Be careful not to burn yourself because it hurts when the applesauce splatters!
  • Transfer to a storage container. Stir in the almond extract.
  • Taste the applesauce and if you think it needs sugar, go ahead and add some to desired sweetness.

  1. ahem. i made a triple batch. gone in 1 seating. nuff said. <br/><br/>I only used 4 apples but they equaled 2.5lbs! Used a better part of a bottle of pomagranate molasses. ;) This is absolutely delicious ~ a great variation of applesauce! Made for NA/ME Tag 9/12.
     
  2. I made a batch and it was gone in five minutes. Yummy! Please make more recipies like this. I am vegitarian.
     
  3. Yum yum yum! I used two organic Gala apples (about 1 lb before peeling & coring). Instead of grated zest I used 3 long wide strips of zest. I used water & for sweetener used about 2 Tbsp (local, always) honey - no brown sugar. It took about 25 minutes for the apples to get soft enough. I like chunky applesauce so just mashed slightly with a potato masher. Delicious and beautiful applesauce! Thanks for sharing! :)
