Applesauce is delicious

Seriously. I don't care how old you are. It is such a comfort food. And it is SO simple. And Sienna loves it.  I made this recipe in a single serving so that it can be made quick for baby, but its also great doubled, tripled, quadroupled and comes out equally lovely when frozen.

It all starts with a fresh apple & a dash of cinnamon.

Ingredients:

1 large organic apple - halved & cored (DO NOT PEEL)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more - to taste)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place oven rack in center of oven. 
2. Place halved/cored apple on baking sheet. (for the apple I used Braeburn, I find they are very naturally sweet and bake really well, but use whichever apples you have at your disposal. Keep in mind that mixing types of apples makes the best juice so it also makes the best sauce :)
3. Once oven is at correct temperature place baking sheet in the oven.
4. Bake apple until tender when pierced with a fork - about 25 min.
5. Remove apple from sheet and place in a bowl, add cinnamon and blend with immersion blender until proper texture.
6. Alternatively: place ingredients in blender or food processor - I just LOVE using the immersion blender because it is so easy to get the chunks out. 
7. Enjoy. (refrigerate for up to 3 days & freeze up to 3 months)

You can also mix this recipe with butternut squash puree.
