Ingredients

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, add all ingredients and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes or until fruit starts to soften.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes or until apples are very tender and blueberries start to blister.
  3. Transfer mixture to a blender and purée until smooth. Store in an airtight container or divide into reusable pouches.

Recipe Tip

  • For a chunkier sauce, mash with a potato masher or fork instead of using blender until desired texture is reached.
  • We recommend using a sweet apple for this recipe, such as Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious or Crispin. Adjust sweetness to taste if using an apple that is tart, such as Granny Smith.
  • Substitute honey with coconut sugar, pure maple syrup or brown sugar if preferred.
