Staying in on cozy Sunday mornings, frost on the garden, and Angels twirling in handmade pink nightgowns.  On the stove, red apples soften into a sumptuous, warm, pink sauce, swirling in cinnamon.  Wonderful to taste when warm or cold at your daily and holiday teatime.  Sweet voices sing, “May I have a little bit more please?”  Happy Sweet November to you!  Lots of projects are releasing this month here and in The Shop at Dove Cottage.  ~Amor Milagre

Pink Applesauce

Holidays made easy.  Celebrate all the days.  A little as you go.  Pick apples fresh off the tree or gather some at the market for this simple and versatile recipe.  No need to wait for holidays, the wonder of the colour is in the skin of the apple.  The nutrients are there, only steamed until soft.  Add this sauce into other dishes as a natural moisturizer & sweetener, have as a side dish, and have for a cozy snack on her own.  Besides lovely raw foods, lightly cooked recipes like this are easy, healthy, and pleasurable to make, providing a cozy atmosphere, a warm, spicy cloud for the senses!

Non-GMO, organic, fresh, local, vegan ingredients:

Wash a few red apples, more if serving more.  Add the roughly diced apples to a pan with a little bit of water for steaming.  Sprinkle in 1 tsp of cinnamon, pinch of ground cloves, nutmeg, and a little splash of vanilla or the insides of some vanilla bean.  Add a lid and steam the apples until easily pierced by a fork or knife point, about 10 minutes or less, on med-low.  Serve like this or lightly blend gently with a fork for applesauce.

Satisfying on its own, as a side dish, snack, and dessert.  Enjoy warm, cold, or room temperature.  This is a favourite for all ages here.  Simple and quick to make, this helps parents and children read a little book while it cooks, then delight together when ready and sweetly fragrant.

This recipe has no added sugar, which is especially great for anyone ill and pregnant moms-to-be, to help stay in optimal health for you and your baby.  (It may be helpful when served cold, if ‘morning sickness’ ails you).

A little matching holiday cooking film is coming soon.
