My recipe today is Strawberry Banana Applesauce. My boys love those little applesauce packages that you get at stores. The portable ones...that look all cute and are handy to throw in your purse. Well awhile back I bought my own reusable applesauce packs and now I've been making applesauce to put in them.
Last fall we picked apples at a friends house. We literally had 3 or 4 diaper boxes full of apples! I have left them in our porch against the house wall so they haven't frozen. Gradually we've been eating them and using them in recipes, hot cereal, etc. Today I decided to use a big chunk before they warmed up and started to go bad.
So here's the recipe...
You'll need enough apples cut in chunks to fill a stock pot 3/4 of the way.
4-5 bananas (brown ones are sweeter)
1/2 cup lemon juice (to preserve sauce and prevent browning)
2-3 cups frozen strawberries
Coconut sugar to taste (this is just to sweeten it to our liking naturally)
Simmer in a stock pot on low. Stirring every now and then. I leave the peelings on the apples and then blend it all up in my vitamix. Then we get the fiber along with everything else. Once the apples are mushy...blend them up and serve!
Here's a link to the reusable snack bags we use for applesauce. They wash up easily and seal well.
