We’ve made it to day 10 of pure apple mayhem, a.k.a. Applepalooza! at The Hazel Bloom. Okay, okay, “pure apple mayhem” is a bit of an exaggeration.

It makes a phenomenal spread for toast, muffins, pancakes, and even a savory sweet dip I’ll be sharing later on during this Applepalooza! thing.

Homemade Applesauce
in Canning and Preservation, Food, Fruit, Gluten Free, Sauces, Jams, and Condiments, Vegetarian
Store-bought applesauce doesn’t hold a candle to homemade applesauce. Other than the fact that homemade tastes phenomenal, sometimes you don’t even need to add any sugar to the recipe – bonus! Make a little to eat, and a lot of applesauce for canning, and then enjoy it all winter. Oh, and of course it makes a terrific substitute for oil in some muffin and cakes recipes for when you’re watching your fat intake.
