Xanthan Gum Free Ginger & Cinnamon Spiced Applesauce

Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, this spiced applesauce is the kind of thing you'll want to keep a jar of in the fridge at all times. Fresh ginger and Ceylon cinnamon give it a bright, layered heat that goes well beyond anything you'd find in a store-bought jar, and a touch of turmeric adds a subtle earthiness that makes the whole thing feel a little special. Because it's made entirely from whole, simple ingredients — apples, spices, lemon juice, and a little water — there's absolutely nothing hidden in here that could cause a problem, no stabilizers or thickeners of any kind. Many commercial applesauces sneak in additives to control texture, so making your own is genuinely the easiest way to stay in control of what you're eating. You can mash it chunky for something rustic and satisfying, or blend it silky smooth depending on your mood or how you plan to use it. A drizzle of honey at the end is entirely optional, letting the natural sweetness of the apples do most of the work. It keeps well in the fridge for up to a week, which means one batch can carry you through breakfasts, snacks, and everything in between.
