When baking, I like to substitute apple sauce for items such as cream, butter, oil, and even milk.

Its a bit healthier than using all fats and tastes just as good if you were to use fats. Of course my homemade apple sauce can also be eaten alone or with vanilla ice cream. Get creative, try it out.

Serves: Up to 4 cups

Prep Time: About five minutes

Cook Time: About ten minutes

Materials:

1. 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped

2. Medium sized pot

3. Potato masher or food processor

4. 2/3 c water

5. 2 T dark brown sugar

How to:

1. Put the water in the pot and bring to a boil add the sugar and apples allow to cook enough so the apples get mushy. Add a bit more water if necessary.

2. Turn off heat, remove and mush or process.

Enjoy!
