Applesauce Recipes
Applesauce is easy to make. Take some washed apples. Peeling is optional. Leaving the peel on is better for you since it contains pectin which sweeps away artery-clogging cholesterol.
Chop the apples into medium small pieces. The smaller the pieces, the faster it cooks. Place pieces in a bowl twice the size of your chopped apples and microwave for 3 minutes. Stir once and microwave again about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar or a small amount of honey, stir and refrigerate or eat while slightly warm.
Applesauce can be enjoyed many ways. Enjoy it fresh from the jar as dessert or over pancakes. You can take a rolled pork roast, sprinkled lightly with salt and pepper and coat it with applesauce. The applesuce seals in the juices and gives it great flavor.
