Another recipe to try is my Butternut Squash and Apple Soup.  Both are easy recipes and would be perfect for fall.

 Unsweetened Applesauce Uses:

1. Baking recipes
2. As a side dish (great with chicken or pork)
3. In a smoothie

Adding cinnamon is optional in this recipe and it is perfectly fine to leave it out.  This homemade cinnamon applesauce makes a great snack and can be used in a variety of recipes.  Apple picking in the fall usually results in a huge bag of apples and yet none goes to waste.  Luckily, apples do last a little longer than some other fruits.

Unsweetened Applesauce:

When you are over-run with apples in the fall, this is the perfect recipe.

Applesauce is a great ingredient for me to experiment with recipes.  The Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies use applesauce as a sweetener and have an amazing flavor and texture!

Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized apples (I used Macintosh, but you could use another type)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)
• Pinch salt

Instructions

1. Core, peel and slice apples in quarters.

2. place all ingredients (except sweetener) in a pot on the stove on medium heat, stirring for about 1-2 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and let cook for about 20 minutes until the mix starts to resemble applesauce. Apples will be soft and when stirred will break up to become the applesauce. I usually don't need to use a blender, but you could if you want it smoother.

4. Consume immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
