Bergy I love this applesauce! I used a 3 pound bag of granny smith apples and they all seemed to be on the smaller side. All I had on hand was cranberry/raspberry juice so I used 2 cups, 3/4 cup of craisins and was out of cinnamon so added a dash of allspice. The flavor is amazing, not to tart and not to sweet. A nice side dish for grilled or baked chicken and would be wonderful for the holidays. Thank you for posting Bergy! Made and reviewed for the Alphabet Chef tag game.

Mouthwatering smell when it is simmering. A very nice variation of the "usual" applesauce. Loved the addition of craisins. Did not have cranberry-apple juice so used only cranberry juice. Next time I make it I will buy some apple juice and combine the two. Have used this as a condiment with baked chicken and also as dessert with yoghurt and with cinnamon ice-cream. A very versatile recipe. Thanks for posting.

Bergy, this was so wonderful, I had some craisins in my closet from Christmas that I wanted to use up, but i think now I will have to go out and buy some more, just to make this again. I doubled this recipe and used up 11 apples, I actually should have used 12, but that is all I had...and I chopped them in large chunks for a chunkier applesauce, I used 1 cup apple juice and 2 cups cranberry juice (for a double recipe), as I did not have the cranberry-apple juice together. Mine took a little longer than 35 minutes to cook. This is a wonderful light dessert, DH is a big fan of fruit, so I am going to make this again, we both loved it!... Thanks so much for posting Bergy, delicious!...Kitten :)

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
