Rawlicious Apple Sauce

Fall and winter are an apple season.  Apples are sweet, tart,and crunchy.  They are absolutely wonderful fruits. However, if you bite into an apple, and it isn't crunchy or to your liking what would you do with it?



      *Rawlicious Apple Sauce*  
Equipment needed: food processor
Ingredients: 
2 to 4 fresh apples
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. maple syrup or agave
1 tsp. lemon juice
Directions: 
Wash apples.  Remove cores.  Place apples chunks into the food processor and the remaining ingredients.  Process until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).

Apples are rich in water-soluble fiber called, pectin.  Pectin is known to be effective in lowering cholesterol.  Also, fresh apples provide vitamin C and potassium. The traditional way of making apple sauce requires cooking.  During the process of heating, much of vitamin C is lost.  Therefore, when you buy processed apple sauce or juice, they are fortified with vitamin C. 

Take advantage of the seasonal fruits to boost your body to the healthier state.
