I often feel like some of my recipes are not worth sharing as they do not have much WOW factor. They use basic pantry staples and are not fancy, but have become regular favorites for our family. I felt we all could use a forum for gathering tried-and-true recipes from those we trust. Whatever you're having for dinner tonight, share with us...its what's for dinner.

Raw Applesauce
My friend Wendy had this recipe listed on her blog and I had to try it!
5 small apples, cored and sliced - peeled or not (your choice - I peel some and leave the skins on some)
1/3 c pineapple juice - or you could use lemon juice...just use less
2 T honey
1 t cinnamon
Blend it all together on a really low setting. I use "2" on my blender, you could pulse it on a food processor. You want there to be really tiny chunks, not liquefied.
My Version
I used 3 medium golden delicious apples, 1 of which I left the skin
1/3 cup pineapple juice
no honey
2 shakes of cinnamon, maybe 1/2 tsp
I added this to my blender and used the ice crusher setting and left the apples just a little chunky. This is super delicious and you don't lose ANY nutrients through the cooking process.
The apples were really sweet naturally so I wanted to taste this before adding honey and there was no need for it!
This looks super yummy. I have to try it!
