Who doesn't love apple sauce? Add it to smoothies to add thickness, or use it solely as a quick dessert. The way I made it is quite chunky, but you could blend it if you wanted a smoother sauce! It's certainly easy to make as our recipe will show you!
It's also a great accompaniment to pork chops!
Dehydrated apples are a great way to make your own apple sauce. Simply rehydrate the apples in water and then cook them down into a thick sauce. You can add spices or sweeteners to taste. This is a great way to use up any extra apples you may have on hand.

Our recipe is really easy and fast to make and it's in the Recipe eBook... just add some dehydrated cranberries and raisins. Also, you'll see that we added a tablespoon of apricot jam—it adds a little extra zing!
If you're looking to cut down on sugar consumption, take a look at my sister-site, Finally-Keto. But what I want to add here is this: Try Polaner Sugar-Free jams. They look and taste just the same as their sugar-laden counterparts. I get my Polaner jams from Amazon.com and here is a link out to the Apricot Jam (just click the image).

We enjoyed our sauce warm, straight from the pan, spooned right
over some French vanilla ice cream—absolute HEAVEN in a dish! It didn't take more than five minutes to make either, just gave us just enough time for the ice cream to soften a little in the bowls.
You can double up the recipe ingredient amounts, as the quantity above was good for two people—and store the leftovers in your freezer. And yes, you can omit the apricot jam, but honestly—it adds a little zing—and thickens the juice.
If your apple sauce seems a bit runny, keep heating it up and the extra liquid will evaporate. If you're into smoothies, add some of this sauce to your blender for instant thickening. You can use this as a thickener too when making fruit leathers—click fruit leathers for more information and fruity ideas.
Try using a three-fruit marmalade (or a regular marmalade) too and let us know how that worked for you! Send in your comments by contacting us here.
