Homemade Pear Applesauce (freezer friendly)

No fancy recipe from me today, folks! Just four humble ingredients, but trust me, it's a winning combo. Let's call it a kitchen hack. I'm sharing it because, honestly, I use it all the time.

Making delicious healthy things is a passion of mine. Just because I want to eat well doesn't mean I have hours to spend at the gym. So food absolutely has to have good nutrition. But before I lose you completely this hack will help you save sugar, calories, and fat. So yes when you're having fun out to dinner you can order that sweet dessert or burger and fries because the rest of your diet has good balance.  Trust me! 

But you're not 5 anymore and you don't want just applesauce right? I get that. I don't usually make this just to eat. I put it in everything else though. 
Check this out. This amazing kitchen and nutrition miracle is fantastic in breads (banana, zucchini, pumpkin whatever kind you're making), in coffee cake ( totally a special splurge food and it will be completely invisible), in muffins for easy early breakfasts, and even homemade pancakes. It helps you add 2 kinds of fruit, limit oil, limit fat, and add moisture which can be a struggle with baking. 


Homemade Pear Apple sauce. 

4 apples ( 2 sweet and 2 tart green apples, all of them peeled except one, all washed & sliced
4 pears, peeled, washed and sliced
water
2 Tbs ground cinnamon

See 4 ingredients. Super easy... 

Notes: 
1. Yes it's freezable
2. It's not going to taste like the cinnamon overloaded kind from the store if you LOVE that add in another TBS. 
3. You get to pick the texture. Cook everything together and then blend up to whatever you prefer. You can have chunky applesauce or completely smooth. It all works. You're in charge. 
4. Cover the fruit completely in water. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until it's completely soft

Miracle fruit sauce so you can be healthy and strong and enjoy the rest of 2013! 

From my kitchen to yours ❤️💯
