apple sauce

This simple recipe for Sugar Free Instant Pot Applesauce can be made in a pressure cooker. It has no added sugar and is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free.

Sugar Free Instant Pot Applesauce

Apples (- see post for details)

Water

tsp Cinnamon (-see post for alternatives)

Prepare your apples by peeling them, removing the core, and then chopping them into chunks. You can make this process easier by using an apple peeler as well as an apple corer slicer to do this. Then place the apples into the cooker.

Pour the water over the apples. Then you can lock the lid and set the valve to seal

Set the cooker to manual and high pressure for five minutes. (It will take about 10 minutes to get to pressure). Allow the pressure to release for 20 minutes and then manually release the pressure that is remaining. You can taste the applesauce and add any seasonings or sugar alternatives as needed. Tip: if your applesauce is too chunky for your taste, simply use an immersion blender to puree it.

This easy apple sauce is zero points per serving on Weight Watchers Freestyle / Flex plan.&nbsp;

Zero Point Apple Sauce

lbs apples (peeled

water

cinnamon

salt

sweetener (optional)

The apples can be peeled or, if you prefer, they can be left unpeeled. Remove the cores and slice or chop into chunks.

Place the apples, water and cinnamon into the Instant Pot. Close the lid and cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Use a natural release.&nbsp;

Carefully open the lid, add a pinch of salt and sweetener if required and stir to combine. The use of sweetener will depend enormously on the type of apples that you use.&nbsp;

If you like very smooth apple sauce, use an immersion hand blender to blend. Cool and serve.&nbsp;

Instant Pot method

Peel the apples (or leave the skins on if you prefer) and remove the cores. Slice or chop the apples. Place into a saucepan with the water and cinnamon. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and mushy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Remove from the heat and add a pinch of salt and sweetener if required. Use a fork or potato masher to smoosh the sauce to the required consistency. If you want really smooth apple sauce then you can use an immersion hand blender to blend.&nbsp;

Stove top method

Applesauce recipe - basic recipe of a no sugar applesauce.

Applesauce Recipe

apples

sugar

cinnamon powder

Rinse, peel and chop the apples. Place them in a sauce pan or pan. I used 3 medium kinnaur apples. You can use any variety of apples.

Add water. The water should just about cover the apples.

Bring this mixture to a simmer on a low to medium flame. You can add sugar if you want. If the apples are very sweet, then you don't need to add sugar. If they are less sweet or not sweet, then add sugar as required.

You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg at this step. Quantities are mentioned in the recipe details below.

Simmer till the apples are softened. Keep stirring occasionally when the apples are getting cooked. If the water dries out and the apples start sticking to the pan, then add more water.

Once the mixture becomes warm, you can either mash the apples or puree them in a blender. Mashing gives a slight chunky texture. Blending them will give a smooth texture.

The final color of the applesauce depends on the variety of apples used.

Pour applesauce in bottles or bowls. Once cooled refrigerate them.

Instant Pot Method

One of the greatest things about fall, in my opinion, is the abundance of crisp, delicious apples that appear in the markets. The scent of an apple pie, crisp, or crumble baking in the oven is the true aroma of the season, and I will not be convinced otherwise. ;-)&nbsp;With minimal effort and just a few hours in the crockpot, you can make your own healthy and delicious applesauce that everyone is sure to enjoy.

CINNAMON APPLE SAUCE

Peel, core, and slice about 3 pounds of apples.

Once your apples are sliced, put them into a crockpot and add the cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir several times to ensure that all the slices are evenly coated.

Turn your slow cooker on high and let it cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally (3 or so times during cooking should suffice).

After 3 hours, you may or may not need to mash the apples up a bit, depending on what kind of apples you used.

This is an old-fashioned apple cake using applesauce, dates, walnuts, and warm spices. It&#039;s super easy to make and is good frosted or not.

Preheat your oven to 350°F.  Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

Add all the ingredients except the dates and nuts to the bowl of your electric mixer.

Mix on low speed for 1 minute then turn up to medium speed for 2 more minutes.

Stop the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom with a spatula. Add the dates and nuts and stir until combined.

Pour the cake batter into your prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes or until done in the center. To test, use a wooden pick or cake tester. When there are no crumbs or dry crumbs on the pick after being inserted into the cake it&#39;s done.

Remove the cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Pork and apple is a classic combination, use good quality cider to make this dish extra special.

Place in dehydrator and dry at 135°F (57°C) for 8-10 hours.

Press leather with flat fingers, if there’s an indentation or any dark, wet spots, it’s not ready. If it comes off easily, it is done.  Watch how to tell if Fruit Leather is Dry on YouTube.

Oven Drying

So light and fluffy, you would never guess they’re made without dairy,  eggs, or gluten. You probably have everything you need in your pantry to make them!

The Best Vegan Oatmeal Blender Pancakes

¾ cup non-dairy milk (see notes)

apple cider vinegar

vanilla extract

oats

coconut oil (see notes)

Starting with the wet ingredients first, layer everything into a blender then add the melted coconut oil last. Blend on high until oats are broken down and smooth, about 20 seconds. A high speed blender is ideal for smoothest results, but is not necessary.

Lightly grease a non-stick skillet and warm over medium-low heat. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook on each side, waiting until the edges are firm with small bubbles before flipping. Flip and cook opposite side until firm and golden brown. Serve warm with pure maple syrup and enjoy!

"The key to a juicy, tender and flavoursome pork belly is in the cooking process. The secret? Low and slow, which is why barbecuing a pork belly really is a fantastic technique. Plus, because you’ve cooked it on the grill, you end up with an added depth of flavour, with all that smoky goodness you can only get from outdoor cooking!" This is an edited extract from Barbecue This! by Luke Hines, published by Plum, RRP $39.99, photography by Mark Roper.

Apple Sauce Pumpkin Cookies

apple

brown sugar

coconut flour

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

pumpkin puree

tbsp vanilla extract

coconut milk ((tetra pack))

In a saucepan combine all the ingredients of apple sauce and cook until apples are soft and mushy. Turn off the flame and let it cool down.

In mixing bowl combine coconut flour, baking powder and salt and mix well with a spoon until no lumps are present in it.

Once the apple sauce cools down puree it in a blender. (Consistency would be slightly liquidy as compared to other apple sauce/store bought apple sauce).

Preheat the oven at 375 degree Fahrenheit and prepare a cookie sheet with a parchment paper and grease it well.

Now, fold in all the ingredients (including apple sauce) into the coconut flour mixture and mix well with a spoon. (You may use your hands in the end to make sure there are no lumps in the batter).

The batter would be sticky and extremely soft but not liquid. Now divide the batter into 14 equal parts and form small balls between your palms. Gently press with your palm to give it a cookie shape and place on a prepared cookie sheet.

Repeat the process for the rest of the batter and place the cookie sheet in the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes then shift the cookie sheet to the top rack and bake again for 10 minutes. (If you feel the cookies are still little tender bake for another 5 minutes).

Take out the oven let it cool until slightly warm and serve because it tastes best when it’s mild warm.

Apple sauce and pumpkin sound like such a great combination. I love this time of year with fall flavors galore.

I love how quickly my new cookie collection builds up. So many great recipes to try. Can't wait to try yours - these cookies look amazing!
