    Caramel Applesauce

    By Catherine on October 30, 2013 Last Updated October 14, 2021 1 Comment | Medical Disclaimer | This Post Contains Affiliate Links

    Caramel Applesauce | Butter NutritionWhile caramel apples are a great fall treat, not everyone can digest raw apples easily, especially those with chronic digestive distress. Why are they hard to digest? Stone fruits contain pectin, a carbohydrate from the polysaccharide family that can be difficult to break down in those with weak digestive juices. However, when stone fruits are ripened (think a soft pear or peach) or cooked, the pectin is broken down further and digested much easier! If you notice a crisp Pink Lady Apple makes you a bit bloated, then you might try cooking them thoroughly, or try a ripe pear and see if that goes down any easier! In the meantime, this caramel applesauce recipe should slide right down even the pickiest digestive system 🙂

    Ingredients:

    4-6 apples, cored, peeled and sliced
    1 cup apple cider (additive free)
    1-2 cups water
    1 tablespoon butter
    Caramel sauce (recipe here)

    Process:

    1) Core, peel and slice apples and put in a large pot with the butter. I used a dutch oven (like this).
    2) Add 1 cup apple cider and 1 cup of water.
    3) Bring to a boil, and then turn down to a simmer.
    4) Let simmer for 40-50 minutes, while occasionally stirring and mashing (I used a muddler).
    5) Add additional water as needed to allow apples to cook without burning the bottom of the pan.
    6) Mix in about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce with every ¾ cup of applesauce. Top with extra caramel.
