Pregnancy Friendly Cinnamon Ginger Applesauce

Warm, fragrant, and made entirely from whole ingredients you can feel good about, this homemade applesauce is the kind of simple comfort food that earns a permanent spot in your rotation. Six medium apples get simmered down with a splash of water and fresh lemon juice until they're completely tender, then finished with Ceylon cinnamon and freshly grated ginger for a flavor that's far more interesting than anything from a jar. Ceylon cinnamon is a gentler, more delicate variety than the common cassia kind, making it a smart choice when you're being thoughtful about what goes into your body. The fresh ginger adds a subtle warmth without being overpowering, and a drizzle of honey at the end lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it. You can keep it rustic and chunky with a potato masher or go silky smooth with an immersion blender — either way, it comes together in under 20 minutes with no additives, no preservatives, and nothing to second-guess. It's equally good warm on its own, spooned over oatmeal, or tucked into the fridge for easy snacking throughout the week.
