Strawberry Applesauce

This is probably my kids favorite new snack!  Really simple to make, yummy, and refreshing!

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 1/2 pounds Apples, cored and cut into chunky pieces
  • 8 ounces fresh or frozen Strawberries, cleaned and trim off stems
  • 1 1/2 – 2 1/4 cups of Water
  • juice from 1 Lemon
  • Optional: natural Sweetener to taste
OPTIONAL GARNISH
  • a dollop of thick Greek Yogurt
  • extra chopped Strawberries
  • ground spices: Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom etc.
METHOD
In a heavy bottomed large pot, add apples, water and strawberries. Squeeze in lemon juice. Bring to boil over medium high heat. Lower the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let applesauce cool a bit. Purée in blender or food processor until desired consistency is achieved. Add more water if needed. Sweeten to taste.
