This month The Recipe ReDux is challenging us to use our slowcookers in a new way. Skip the soup and ditch the casserole! Members were asked to get creative with our cookers and try our hands at breakfast lunch or dinner keeping in mind the goal of our recipes: redo meals into more healthful versions of new and old favorites! I chose a twist on applesauce by cooking fresh apples with cling peaches. I added a bit of unsweetened juice and a little bit of allspice to spice up!
Peach Applesauce
Ingredients
- 6 *apples, cored, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup sliced cling peaches, canned in natural juices, frozen or fresh peeled
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Place all ingredients in your slowcooker and cook on high for 2 hours, occasionally stir if necessary.
When apples are soft, puree with an immersion blender or remove from the crockpot and puree in a conventional blender.
Cool and serve as is or use in baked goods for an added flavor boost!
*use a natural sweeter variety like a Honeycrisp or Gala for a sweeter version.
