Naturally sweetened apple sauce

The main reason for me putting this recipe on the blog is because it is good to use in Gluten free, Egg free, White sugar free and Dairy free baking, but this recipe is also delicious to use on you breakfast porridge or as a healthy desert with some roasted nut and maybe a bit of lactofree whip cream.

You can make this on the amount of apples you have, simply just ad up with how many grams of apples you have. 400g apples makes about 300g apple sauce.

Per 100g of peeled and cored apples use:
½ tablespoon agave syrup or sweet freedom (available in most supermarkets)
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
Simply dice the apples into small pieces and place in a pot. Add the agave or sweet freedom and lemon juice and cook with a lid on medium heat for 20-30 minutes, depending on the apples.

When apples are cooked through, take the pan off the heat and let it cool down. Transferee to a blender and blend until smooth.

I normally do this every time I have some apples that have gone past eating fresh, and I put the apple sauce in small freezing bags or freezable containers, in 125g portions and freeze until wanted.
