Apples and PumpkinNear the beginning of the fall season, I was debating whether I should focus more on apple recipes or pumpkin recipes this year.  And I'm not just talking about for this blog, but for the treats I make at home in general.  I was in the middle of my mindful debate when I came across this recipe.  Pumpkins AND apples?  It was too coincidental to ignore.

I was able to make the applesauce right away as the ingredients are basic and the steps are simple.   Plus, it's very customizable.  Use apples you like to eat, keep them peeled or unpeeled, then process it chunky or smooth.  It's all preference.

Judah gobbled this right up, throwing his spoon to the side in order to scoop the applesauce up in his fists.  Yes, he made quite the mess each meal time, but I was thrilled to see him eating healthy applesauce without any extra preservatives. We'll be making more tomorrow.
