I love the idea of adding other fruits to apple sauce! Not only would it be delicious, but it would also help with getting enough daily fruit servings. Thanks!
that looks yummy. i would try it on bread and waffles.
Love the recipe and would try soon this weeknd for my son for pancakes,waffles ,bread,bun for his school tiffin.Great recipe.
This sounds delicious! A good way to use up all the berries I’ve frozen throughout the summer.
I have made apple sauce for years we even canned lots of it. some were along the line we started making it lumpy so we had bites of apple. With this we could add any of the berries on hand including cranberries. Thanks for the recipe I think the Farmers market has lots of apples now.
That looks absolutely delicious!
I love berries and this looks very delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I was interning at a nursing home once and we had a potluck. A woman brought in something very similar to this and it was to die for. I never got the recipe however I might just try this one. I bet it would be delicious with ice cream =)
