Chunky Raspberry Apple Sauce Recipes

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine apples with 1 cinnamon stick, jam, and water; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender (about 30 to 35 minutes). Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
• Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick.
• Stir in 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice.
• The sauce will be somewhat chunky. If you prefer it smoother, puree it in a blender or food processor.

RASPBERRY ROASTED APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the zest and juice of the oranges and lemon in a large (11-inch) ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and add them to the pot, tossing them with the juices as you go.
• Add the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and raspberries, cover, and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the apples are very soft. Stir vigorously with a wire whisk. The applesauce will be smooth but still have a lot of texture. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream and a dusting of orange zest.
