The Wee One loves this applesauce. He had two bowlfuls at our Sunday dinner.
It take a little time to prep the apples but it’s worth it when you smell the delicious aromas of cooking apples with cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
I used gala apples, golden delicious, and Macintosh apples at different time. Each one was delicious as applesauce.
Instead of refined sugar, I used coconut sugar which has a lower glycemic index than white sugar. (35 instead of 60 so your blood sugar won’t spike as easily.)
Since I’ve been loving pumpkin spice lately, I use pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon. You can use either spice.

To make it Whole 30 friendly, omit the sugar. Remember only eat a little bit of fruit while on the Whole 30 because you don’t want to feed your sugar dragon.
