I use applesauce quite a bit in my dog treats baking. Applesauce is a great substitute for oil in dog treat recipes and also a great flavour enhancer. But store bought applesauce usually have some form of preservative and lots of sugar. So I started googling for applesauce recipes. It never occured to me that it would be so easy to make applesauce. Plus so cost effective!

Ingredients:

10 apples (I bought Royal Gala apples that were selling at 10 for RM4.90)

2 Cinnamon sticks

Steps:

1. Peel and cut apples into quarters. Remove seeds and core. The core and seeds of apples are toxic to dogs.

2. Put all cut apples into a pot. Cover with water and let it boil for 20 mins.

3. Strain the water and remove the cinnamon sticks.

4. Mash / process the apples till you achieve a consistency that you like. Can be chunky or smooth paste.

Boiled apples in my hand-held mini blender/processor.

The finished product. Could fill two glass jars.

1 cup of this is going into the Apple Bran Muffins for dogs that I’ll be making later. ^0^
