Pumpkin Pie Applesauce
Pumpkin pie applesauce is the perfect combination of pumpkin flavors and creamy applesauce. You will love this fall flavored version using pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices.
Ingredients
- 10 apples cord, peeled, and chopped into same sized pieces
- 1 ⅓ cup water
- Juice from half a lemon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup 100% pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Core and peel 10 apples (its okay if some skin is left on).
- Chop the apples into same sized pieces so they will cook equally.
- Place chopped apples in a large pot and pour in the lemon juice, water, cinnamon, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla.1 ⅓ cup water, Juice from half a lemon, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 10 apples
- Warm over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes.
- Check at 10 minutes and pierce apples with a fork to check for softness. The softer the apples are, the easier to puree.
- Allow the apples to cool.
- Stir in pumpkin puree (the puree is already cooked so you do not need to cook it with the apples).1/2 cup 100% pumpkin puree
- Use an immersion blender on low speed to blend to desired consistency. You can also pour into a blender but very careful when pouring if the apples are still warm.
Notes
Your applesauce consistency will vary based on the method you use! You can leave it slightly clumpy or blend it to a smooth puree (my favorite).
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
To freeze: Place in a gallon freezer bag and lay flat for up to 3 months.
