AS SEEN ON GLOBAL NEWS – Kids love applesauce and there is nothing simpler than making a batch with them. It’s very tasty on its own, spooned over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, ice cream or swirled into yogurt. Enjoy it in the creamy Apple Pie Shake, recipe below.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 to 20 minutes
Makes about 4 cups (1 L), or 8 servings
3 lb (1.5 kg) Ontario Apples, peeled, cored and sliced
3/4 cup (175 mL) unsweetened Ontario Apple Juice
2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Liquid Honey
In large saucepan, bring apples and apple juice to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes or until apples are very soft. Remove from heat. Mash with potato masher until smooth yet with small chunks remaining. Stir in honey to desired sweetness. Let cool.
