Spicy Pink Applesauce Food

20 MINUTE NO SUGAR PINK APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Wash the apples well. Do Not Peel! Chop them into 1 inch pieces, discarding the core.
• Put the apples, cider, cinnamon and cloves into a heavy soup pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft.
• Remove the spices, and then puree the apples in a food processor. I did this in batches so as not to overload the processor. You can puree the apples to a super smooth consistency, or keep some texture. I chose to retain a little bit of texture in mine.
• Refrigerate the sauce until needed. It will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
