My kids love making applesauce with their dad! This time they got fancy, with orange-flavored applesauce! This was three-year-old Lily’s first time slicing the apples (with a butter knife) – and she thought that was amazing!
Making applesauce is very simple: peel the apples, slice them into chunks, and bring them to a boil in a pot with a little juice. Then let it simmer for a while, mash it with a potato masher, and enjoy! This time we used orange juice and it had a nice orange flavor. You can refrigerate it first, but I like to eat it warm, with a little vanilla ice cream to make it extra-special!
Do you make your own applesauce?

Yum! We made our own a couple of times, but nobody in the family is really big on apple sauce.

Yum! I make mine in my Thermomix, leaving the peel on and adding water instead of juice. Maybe I’ll try orange juice sometime… and ice cream, too!!!

It has never worked for me to use a potato masher, but we’ve used a hand blender. Princess would love orange flavored applesauce.

The potato masher leaves some chunks, so you have to like that texture :)

Hi Mary Anne! Saw your post on Google + and had to check it out. I don’t think I ever knew that applesauce is so easy to make! I bake and cook with my kids all the time, so they will love this. Thanks!
