I wish I could remember where I found this recipe on the web.  Thank you to the person who shared/created this fabulous applesauce.  I am calling it:

Pink Cinnamon Applesauce

8-10 cooking apples
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract

Wash, core and quarter apples.  Put in pot.  Add rest of ingredients.  Simmer until soft.  Stir occasionally.  Serve chunky with skins (good source of  nutrients) , or, strain until smooth.

TIPS: If it appears to be a bit dry when first cooking, add a little more orange juice. 

When serving it one evening, I topped it with a few fresh raspberries – was out of this world delicious!  What berries would you put on top of this applesauce?

… for the health of your family,
