Uncooked/Raw Applesauce in my Bosch – More Nutrition & Easier, too!

Thanks, Kelly. I have been experimenting with applesauce too. I cored and sliced the apples and put them in the food processor. The only things I added were cinnamon and nutmeg. I thought I would need water, but it actually turned out great with nothing at all. I was nervous that it would not be sweet enough without a sweetener, but it was great and the peels added a beautifully rich color to the sauce. I dehydrated some of it into fruit leather also. I might try it with some maple syrup next time for an extra sweet kick! Thanks for the recipe.

Thanks, Kel.

I just made some batches of this using only honeycrisp apples with a little raw organic agave and a little cherry juice concentrate – YUMMY!!
I like how it’s so easy without having to peal the apples.

I love it! Thanks for sharing Kelly. I will be delighted to add this to my favorites and try it in the future.

Kelly,
No problem at all. Often people just forget, so sometimes I have to remind. I thought I would before I forgot

By the way, I didn’t realize you had a teen! How old?

Just reread your post and realized that you have several children! How did I miss that before? How fun. I am sure that’s such a blessing.

Then I’d like to chat with you more, just so we don’t go too far off-topic here.

Thanks,

Yum! Looks great! I last made applesauce last fall for my beginning eater (at the time) and, as he is loving apples again this year, this might be a great way to keep more nutrition in it for a healthier snack!

Have you tried throwing a little whey in it to have it store in the fridge for a few days? Just curious!

Best,
Sarah

I’ll have to try this. Anything raw is way better for you than cooked. (Well, not meat, lol.)

I am jealous. I’ve heard so many people rave about their Bosch, and I always thought “that’s great, but I’m not paying that much for a mixer when I already have a Kitchen Aid!” I knew it did more, but I have a vita-mix already (which I love).

Then I read an old article in Countryside magazine on bread making, and the woman said Kitchen Aid mixers can’t stand up to frequent bread kneading. She’s probably right. Mine gives off a “be careful, I might burn out” smell when I knead bread too much. Now, mine is pretty old–as old as me! But I think they made them better back then, too.

So, now how do I convince my generous husband that I “need” a $340 mixer (not including “necessary” attachments I’d like) when I already have the Kitchen Aid, and he bought me over $1000 in appliances just last year? (Vita Mix, large dehydrator, fancy juicer, etc.) Hmmmm…

I just made it again and decided I’m not adding the nutmeg or all-spice anymore. Even with such small amounts, it can still have a strong flavor and the kids like it better without, too.

After reading about your raw applesauce, I decided to make some. I don’t have a Bosch, but used my food processor, no lemons either so I skipped those. I used 5 apples, cored them then processed in my food processor, as it whirled, I added about a half cup of filtered water, cinnamon, cloves and a little freshly grated nutmeg – skipped the sweetener and it was DELICIOUS! Even my husband like it and he always wants a little sweetener.
