    Really Good, Really Easy Applesauce (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    If you want a tasty, healthy treat that's cheap, super simple to make and delivers big flavor, try this recipe for homemade applesauce. It's one of those dishes that kids can help you make, and which will leave smiles all around.

    Photo: CC-- Urban Sea StarIngredients:

    • 4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
    • ¾ cup water
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • ½-¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Directions:
    In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon.

    Cover, and cook over medium heat until apples are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.

    Allow to cool, then put them in a blender and blend until smooth. If you don't have a blender, then you can mash them with a fork or potato masher.

    Serve alone, or over ice cream or frozen yogurt.

    Jeff,

    I've been making applesauce for 50 years with NO sugar, and a hint cinnamon, and everyone who has ever tasted it says it's terrific!

    Unless the apples are really sour, not many are, you don't need to add sugar to make apple sauce, though you could add raisins for sweetening, but this is supposed to be some sort of healthy snack not chock full of sugar!

    I agree heartily with your comments, cinnamon is lovely with apples... yum, but no sugar added!

    I make my own applesauce anyway. I'm glad you wrote a recipe for us.

    Thank you.

    I'm glad to see a gluten-free recipe that's not afraid of sugar! I for one think there's nothing wrong with a little (stress "Little") sugar now and then, if you're not diabetic or allergic!

    This is one of my favorite desserts to make; it’s so fun to cook and serve. The sauce becomes incredibly aromatic as it cooks down. As simple, yet exotic desserts go, it’s a perfect way to top off a meal with flair. I usually poach peaches or pears in wine, but the rosemary in this recipe does something magical with the peach, I didn’t want to hide it behind the wine.
    Ingredients:
    2 pounds firm, ripe peaches
    ½ cup sugar
    ¼ cup water
    2 tablespoons honey
    2 strips lemon rind
    2 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 sprigs fresh rosemary
    Directions:
    Cut unpeeled peaches into 1-inch slices and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
    In a large saucepan, heat sugar, water, honey and remaining lemon juice over low-medium heat. Simmer until sugar dissolves completely. Add ro...

    Apple and Dill Deviled Eggs (Gluten-Free)
    Messing with the beloved deviled egg can be a dangerous gambit in my family. Luckily, a little apple goes a long way in this recipe. I like a bit more tang so I tend towards equal parts mayo and mustard in my filling, but you could easily use more mayonnaise like most recipes call for.
    Ingredients:
    6 hard-boiled eggs
    ½ Granny Smith apple, diced
    ½ shallot, diced
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
    ½ tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
    1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Preparation:
    Melt butter in pan over medium-heat and add shallots. Add apple and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add parsley and cook another minute longer. Remove from heat.
    Slice eggs in half lengthwise and combine yolks with mayon...

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage.

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing. It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together. If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well. If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide...

      Hi, Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom...
