Quick Pumpkin Applesauce

by megan on November 29, 2008

I was craving a pumpkin treat today, but didn’t have time to bake anything. I decided to mix up a little pumpkin combination that turned out to be quite delicious. I loved how all the flavors blended and the raisins plumped up perfectly. Next time I have this, I might add some cranberries instead of raisins and maybe top it with a few graham cracker crumbs.

Easy Pumpkin Applesauce
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 tbsp raisins
dash of pumpkin pie spice
dash of cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together and heat in microwave for 1 minute. If you use unsweetened applesauce, you may need to add a little sweetener.

Great idea! Definitely try the graham cracker crumbs – it was great on my “warm pumpkin pie cream of wheat” this morning!!

Looking forward to having the Maple Cornbread Muffins for breakfast tomorrow!

Creative Cat Meg! I love it. What did you put it on… anything or just eat it straight up?

Hmmm I was hoping this would give me some insight on how to make pear sauce….back to the drawing board!

Yum! This would be great on top of granola!

This sounds great, I am looking for ideas to use up all my leftover pumpkin!

Mary H. November 30, 2008 at 8:16 pm

I’ll bet some fresh baked granola would be fantastic on top of that. Yum!

Megan, you are so creative. This sounds so yummy. I too would probably add cranberries or cherries. Hugs my friend.

I’ll totally have to make some of this :) And back to your comment to me…I have family in Edison too! I grew up in South Orange (where Seton Hall University is) so that’s where I was this past week :)

What a tasty idea! I sometimes bake with applesauce, and this would be a great and lean way to enhance the flavor in a batch of muffins :) . I’d love to include your recipe on our blog, please email me if you’re interested.

Thanks!
