Applesauce

With no preservatives and all-natural ingredients, homemade applesauce just tastes better. A lot better. And you’ll be glad you made the effort, however easy it is.

Ingredients

• 560 g (4) medium apples, halved, seeded
• ½ lemon, peeled, or 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 30 g (2) Medjool dates, or 1 Tablespoon honey
• 1 cinnamon stick, 2 inches, or 1 teaspoons ground

Directions

1. With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the lemon, leaving just the flesh.
2. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
3. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Blend for 1 minute.
