This is a really simple way to make applesauce into an amazingly delicious breakfast, dinner or dessert addition.
You can use whatever spices you like – I went traditional in the video, though I would have loved to add some cardamom for a unique flavor.
Spiced Applesauce Recipe
Prep time:

You could also add a bit of molasses for a more gingerbread-like sauce.
And for a creamy applesauce, you could stir in a bit of almond or cashew butter, which would also help to soften the spices on your tongue.
So many possibilities and variations of yumminess – then the difficulty becomes how to serve and enjoy it…
