Raspberry Cinnamon Applesauce Recipes

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Add apples and apple juice to a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot and bring to a boil. Cover, turn down the heat to a simmer, and cook until the apples are falling apart tender, about 30-40 minutes.
• Stir in raspberries, remove from stove and cool for about a half hour or so.
• If you have peeled and cored the apples, pour the apple raspberry mixture into a blender and process until smooth (you may have to do this in batches). If you have a food mill (see note below) you can scoop the apple raspberry mixture from the pot to the food mill and turn the handle - the mill will catch all the peel and seeds for you.
• This makes a nice tart applesauce. If you like yours sweeter, add some sugar or honey.
• This applesauce is scrumptious at any temperature - cool, room temperature or warm. I highly recommend trying some while it is warm! I like to garnish with a little mint when serving.

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.

CINNAMON APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples have cooked down into a sauce, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a fork, remove pieces of apple peel from sauce, and discard. Use immediately, or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE WITH CHIA

Steps:

• Heat apples, 1/2 cup water, and cinnamon in a medium pot over medium-high. Bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until apples are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add raspberries; cook, stirring, until juicy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle with chia seeds. Let cool slightly, then mash. (If too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Applesauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

RASPBERRY-CINNAMON APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Place apples, raspberries and cinnamon sticks in Dutch oven. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 15 to 20 min. or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in sugar. Remove and discard cinnamon sticks. Cool to room temperature; cover.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.

CINNAMON-MAPLE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine apples, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, maple syrup and cinnamon, cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the apples have softened, around 15 minutes. Remove lid and cook for another 5 minutes, until any excess liquid cooks off.
• For a chunky sauce, use a potato masher to carefully mash the apples. For a smooth sauce, transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse to your desired consistency. If you like a thinner sauce, add up to 1/2 cup of water.
• Taste and add a bit more maple syrup as necessary. (It will depend on the combination of apples.) Stir in a pinch of kosher salt.

SLOW-COOKER APPLE RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine apples, raspberries, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a slow cooker crock.
• Cook on Low until apples can easily be mashed, about 6 hours.

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-CINNAMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
• Stir brown sugar, applesauce, and egg in a bowl until well combined. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; stir until just combined. Fold in raspberries gently.
• Use a disher scoop to portion uniform amounts of batter into the prepared muffin tin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove muffins from the tin immediately and cool on a wire rack.

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE JELLO

Steps:

• Stir together topping ingredients; cover and refrigerate overnight (or long enough to soften and slightly melt the marshmallows, if you prepare this in the morning, it should be ready later in the evening) When the marshmallows are softened, beat the mixture with electric mixer until smooth, to create a topping for the jell-o.
• Dissolve the jell-o and the sugar in boiling water; add in the raspberries, stirring until well dissolved and mixed.
• Stir in the applesauce until well mixed.
• Pour into a 13 x 9-inch pan.
• Refrigerate until firm.
• Spread the sour cream/marshmallow mixture on top.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.
