Ginger Cinnamon Applesauce
My kids love applesauce in any flavor so I decided to get them into the kitchen to help me take advantage of our Washington apple harvest with the inexpensive and abundant crops to whip up some ginger cinnamon applesauce. This recipe for ginger cinnamon applesauce is great for all meals, snacks and for the gluten free among us it even doubles as a sweet 'apple pie' substitute with ice cream. Yum!
You can use any type of apple you like. I usually opt for red skinned apples, but you could try granny smith apples for a tart sweet combo that is delicious. When I pack apple slices for the kids' lunches I opt for organic apples, but for this applesauce, it's fine to use conventionally grown apples as you'll be peeling the skins off before cutting into 3/4" pieces. Try the recipe below for a quick, easy prep applesauce that will having you making more soon!
