Applesauce will always be a favorite among kids, so might as well keep it healthy. Packaged varieties are usually packed with high fructose corn syrup, but this homemade version is plenty flavorful without all the added sugar.

Great variation of my recipe. I core the apples and cut into small pieces or shred/slice in the food processor. I then micro-waves the apples for at least 10 minutes and if they are soft I let them col. or more until they are tender and soft. I prefer to have the skins on the apples since it is a great source of fiber. If the apple sauce is too tart I then add spelnda, but never before so that I can taste the flavor. I also add cinamin or other spices. I sometimes take a peach and stew it in the microwave and add that in--interesting variation
