SUGAR-FREE SPICED APPLESAUCE

Sugar-Free Spiced Applesauce image

This spiced applesauce is an amazing way to start the morning. I love it by itself or as a healthy topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese. I try to eat gluten- and sugar-free food as much as possible while keeping it delicious and full of flavor. This simple recipe is an easy choice! Agave nectar is a fantastic natural sweetener that is low carb and low glycemic index. It is about twice as sweet as sugar so use it in moderation. Use twice the amount of sugar if you are going to substitute. I like my apples tart, so feel free to sweeten to taste.

QUICK HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE - NO SUGAR ADDED

Quick Homemade Applesauce - No Sugar Added image

A quick, easy homemade applesauce recipe that I served with potato latkes this year. It has no added sugar, which makes it a better option for diabetics and low-carb people and others who avoid cane sugar. But if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (I like Braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (Granny Smith, for example). Don't leave out the salt, it's a necessary ingredient for a good applesauce!

Ingredients

3 lbs apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 1/2 cups water
2 thin lemon slices
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Peel and core apples (I prefer to leave the skin on a few of them because I like the taste and texture). Cut apples into approximately 1 inch cubes.
Add all ingredients to pot, and turn heat on high. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the apples have softened significantly.
Stir frequently, making sure that the apples are not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add more water if necessary. Remove lemon slices.
Mash with a potato masher or use a food mill for a smoother consistency. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

6 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped
3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar (to taste)

Steps:

Prep apples and if making a lot, squeeze a little lemon juice to prevent from browning. In a saucepan over medium heat, pour the apple juice and bring to a gentle boil.

Remove from heat and mash mixture using either a fork, potato masher, immersion blender or food processor, until desired consistency is reached . Taste sauce and if needed, add sugar to taste - can also add a little ground cinnamon, freshly grated lemon or orange zest, a splash of lemon juice or Calvados, a pinch of ginger, cloves nutmeg or a little butter. I am a purist....
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for about a month. Pour into sterilized jars, then 15 minutes in hot water bath for pint-sized jars or 20 minutes for larger jars. Makes approximately 2 cups.
