This hummous is especially good for children although adults seem to love it too! I put hummous on almost everything and this one is especially yummy. Sometimes I add even more apple sauce if I want it sweet.

Peanut butter and applesauce in hummous? You have got to be kidding! But oddly enough, it's delicious! The peanut butter is a fantastic alternative to techina, and the applesauce adds a nice sweetness to the hummous. I added some fresh cilantro simply because I like cilantro in my hummous. Just please don't tell my kids what's in here, they'll never eat it again if they knew...

Incredibly good, Desirée. I made 1/2 a recipe successfully and loved it all by itself with the help of a fork. I'll be making this one on a regular basis. Seems I never have tahini on hand and tend to overeat it when I do, so this recipe is the perfect combination of taste and convenience. Thank you so much.

I really liked this and I was a tad apprehensive I wouldn't care for the peanut butter. This is very smooth and creamy. The peanut butter is not dominant at all, just gives a nice hint of something extra. The applesauce gave it a slight sweetness..very nice! I used the hummus in a wrap rolling it with grated carrots, sliced green onion, and parsley. I also made cucumber cups to fill with the hummus. I would make both again with this keeper of a recipe! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
