BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation: BC School Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program

4-6 medium apples, unpeeled, washed, cored and quartered

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Place all ingredients in large Ziploc bag, toss well to distribute, and place in freezer for minimum 4 hours (or overnight).  Remove from freezer, allow to thaw for an hour or more.  Take apples out, gently rub skin from frozen apples and place pulp into glass serving bowl.  Mash with fork or potato masher (if any juice in the Ziploc, put in with apples). Serve cold.

*Cook’s note:  If you don't really like lemon - cut back to 1 tbsp.  As there are no preservatives, the applesauce will go bad quickly so consume within a couple of days.
