Fresh Applesauce

8 cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped

1/2 cup Splenda
1 tbsp. cinnamon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

1. Place apples in a 5-quart pot. Add Splenda, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add just enough water to cover half the apples (to prevent a watery sauce).

2.) Bring apples to boiling; reduce to a simmer until apples are soft.

3.) Hand-blend or mash apples to desired consistency. Serve warm or cold.

It is a recipe I found at a Super Wal-mart. I am hoping to make it one of these days as well as I love applesauce. And with this recipe you can at least use Splenda instead of sugar.

I've always loved fresh applesauce. What I don't love are the "little bit more than I should eat carbs." This recipe is so easy I must try it and I will eat less to keep the carbs down.

This sounds really good and easy to make -- I will have to try it!
