How excited we were when we saw the refrigerated apple truck near our home in Florida, filled with fresh, crisp apples – Gala, McIntosh and Fuji, brought straight from the orchards in Michigan! A delicious surprise.
Fall Leaves, Pumpkins, Apples and Thanksgiving are the beginnings of the season of baking, cooking and gathering with friends and family.
My applesauce recipe is a family favorites. I just made it with the right off the truck Gala apples – WOW the flavors were enhance due to the freshness of the apples!
Enjoy this recipe, make it throughout the year..we never get tired of eating it nor how delicious our house smells.

Homemade Applesauce with Strawberries
Ingredients
- 4-6 medium Organic Apples cored and cut in chunks
- 8-10 oz pkg Organic frozen whole Strawberries
- 1/2 cups water
- 1-2 tsp lite agave sweetener or to taste
- 2 tsp cinnamon or to taste
- walnuts or almonds optional
Instructions
- Wash, core and cut apples into chunks. I leave the skin on, you may remove when you are preparing the apples if you wish.
- Pour the water in a medium pan and bring to a boil. Throw the apples in and when it begins to boil again, reduce the heat, cover and let cook. Check often and stir.
- When apples are almost done, add strawberries and continue to cook covered for 6-8 minutes until all fruits are soft and well blended.
- Add agave ( or your choice of sweetener), spices and stir well into applesauce.
- Remove from heat and keep covered so the agave and cinnamon can absorbed and blend with the fruits.
- Refrigerate once cooled. Enjoy!
