Who doesn't love apple sauce?
Add it to smoothies to for added thickening, or use the sauce "as is" as a quick dessert.
The way I made it is quite chunky as you can see in the image, but you could blend it if you wanted a smoother sauce!
It's certainly easy to make as our recipe will show you!

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. Learn how to dehydrate apples here.
It's also a great addition to pork chops!
Our recipe (coming up) 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 site, FinallyKeto. 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. Here is the Apricot Jam on Amazon.com

Here's how to make this super-easy apple sauce! If you're using dehydrated apples, be sure to rehydrate them first. They may be a little brown in appearance, but they will still taste great.
Your raisins are fine to use "as is," but rehydrate the dried cranberries prior to adding to the sauce.
This sauce is so easy to make!
There are endless possibilities when it comes to apple sauce combinations. You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to give it a little extra flavor.
Or, mix in some other fruits like cranberries or pears for a unique twist.
The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity with this versatile dish. So go ahead and experiment until you find your perfect combination.

There are a few theories about the origins of applesauce:
So while there's no definitive inventor or moment of origin, applesauce likely emerged over centuries as an apple-based dish that was cheaper and longer-lasting than fresh apples. It became a standard comfort food in many cultures.
Apple sauce is not just for eating on its own. It can also be used as an ingredient in many recipes. Try using it as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
Or, use it as a filling for pies or pastries. Use it as a healthy alternative to sugary sauces in recipes too!
So, next time you are in a pinch, reach for the apple sauce.
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, which 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.
