Blendtec Raw Cinnamon Applesauce

Please share:

I made applesauce in the crockpot once. It was easy but took forever and cooking the apples tends to destroy the nutritional content. I really had no idea that there was a raw alternative, though it makes total sense. Sometimes I’m a little behind. I don’t want to talk about it.

We got our Blendtec just over 4 months ago and have racked up over 400 uses on it. Applesauce never once crossed my mind. Thankfully,  the wonderful folks over at Blendtec thought of that one. I changed the recipe just a bit, because I prefer my applesauce a bit more on the chunky side. Feel free to add more water if you prefer it thinner and smoother.

If you want to make this Whole30, leave out the dates/date paste, it will still be delish! The first time I made this applesauce, I was lazy and didn’t peel the apples. You might like it that way, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the additional texture from the peels and neither was anyone else in the house. The texture was much better without the skin, so take that information and do what you want.

There’s a Strawberry Applesauce variation below, you absolutely have to try it. I actually like it better than the Cinnamon version. The picture for this recipe is actually of the Strawberry version, hence the little red specks. I will be trying other fruit combos, I’m kinda addicted to raw applesauce now. We really should have an apple tree with as many apples as we go through. Oh wait, we do, it just doesn’t produce any apples. Cool. Not.

By the way, “Not” is what a child of the 90’s would say. We do not say “Said no one ever”. Just in case you were wondering.

Ingredients

Plain Applesauce

• 2 Tbsp Water
• 1 Ripe Banana
• 1-2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 2-3 Medjool Dates, pitted or 2-3 Tbsp Date Paste

Strawberry Applesauce

• 2-1/2 Tbsp Water
• 1 Ripe Banana
• 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 2-3 Medjool Dates, pitted or 2-3 Tbsp Date Paste
• 2 Apples, I prefer Fuji or Gala apples, peeled, cored and quartered
• 6-8 Strawberries, hulled
• 1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients in the order listed to a high powered blender like the Blendtec.
2. Run the “Sauces” cycle. I stop it with about 15-20 seconds to spare so it’s a little chunkier.
3. Eat. Store leftovers in the fridge.
