This is a quick, easy, and delicious way to make apple sauce. The perfect blend of pumpkin spice, lemon juice, and sugar with these honeycrisp apples. Use apple of your choice--and blend it up in your blender.

Ingredients

4 honeycrisp apples (or a blend of apples of your choice)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon of Pumpkin Spice

1 tablespoon of sugar

NOTE: You can choose apples that work best for you, and vary on the sweetener---it's up to you.

Prepare 2 Apples

Using a special device (as shown in pic) or using your hands and a knife, peel, core, and slice two of the four apples. Place in a bowl until ready to use.

Prepare the Other 2 Apples

don't peel the other two apples--the skin, when not blended finely, gives an impression of shredded peppermint. Just cut and core these two apples.

Blend

Place all ingredients (lemon juice, apples, pumpkin spice, and sugar) in blender, and blend on medium speed (Vitamix variable 5-6) for a few seconds after circulation. You can blend on high speed for a much smoother consistency without telltale peels of red apple skin.

NOTE: if you have a Vitamix, be sure to use the tamper to push down on stubborn stationary ingredients.

Done!

Serve and enjoy.

NOTE: As is the case with most things, this recipe can be doubled, though it may be harder to blend with all the extra ingredients.
