I was trying to use up some fruit that was getting towards the end of its life. Using a recipe in "500 Fat Free Recipes" as a starting point I made one up. I posted the recipe as a private recipe while it chilled so I wouldn't forget how I made it in case it was good! As it turns out, it was excellent. The only change I made was to decrease the amount of candied ginger called for. I used 3 pieces which was a little too intense. If you want a subtle flavor, use just 1 piece of candied ginger.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs apples
1/4 cup clementine juice (about 2 clementines)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1-2 tablespoon candied ginger (1-2 pieces)

Directions

1
Wash, core, and quarter the apples. (I like a variety of apples.)
2
Juice the clementines and the lemon.
3
Put the apples and both juices into a 2 quart microwave safe dish with a lid. Close it and microwave, on high, for 5 minutes.
4
After 5 minutes stir and put back in the microwave for 9 minutes on high.
5
When it is done let it sit for a few minutes without the top on to cool a bit.
6
Place the apples and all their juice into a food processor and whir until it is nice and creamy.
7
Add the splenda and whir a bit more.
8
Chop up the candied ginger and fold it into the apples with a spoon.
9
Put in a different container and chill.

Yum! This applesauce is so easy to make and has a delicious flavor. I used Empire apples and only needed to nuke them for 9 minutes total. I also like my applesauce chunkier, so I mashed it with a potato masher instead of using the food processor. I used sugar instead of Splenda, adding slightly less than 2 Tbsp. I added 2 heaping Tbsp of ginger and it tasted just right to me. I'll definitely be making this again.
