Applesauce Recipe
8 apples, peeled and cut into halves

2 pears, peeled and cut into halves
Add all the ingredients to a stovetop steamer and steam until soft. Let it cool and use the Smooth Chopper to create the desired consistency. Save the applesauce in a mason jar or in the Liquid Container. The applesauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (but it will likely be eaten well before then!).
Substitutions: Add a cinnamon stick or two and take them out before blending the apples and pears. Add some ground ginger and nutmeg for an exotic taste!
Healthy Breakfast

1/2 cup of applesauce
1/2 cup of muesli/oatmeal - optional
