RAW Applesauce


Do you ever go into the store and want to buy applesauce and all they have is the kind with like 10 ingredients and the only one that is actually good for you is the apples. Well say goodbye to high fructose corn syrup because this recipe only has three "good-for-you" ingredients.

8 apples
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup of water ( more if needed)
1 tbsp cinnamon (optional)

Core and slice apples
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until desired consistency

Zula's Sweet Potato Casserole

This is my husbands Great Aunt Zula's,  Family Famous Sweet Potato Casserole. With slight modifications ;-). I reduces the amount of butter and sugar.

For Filling

  • 3 cups mashed sweet potato
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla


Mash all ingredients together and put in casserole dish. Smooth out top.

Topping

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/3 cup flour ( I used gluten Free flour)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • 1/3 cup butter softened


cream ingredients together till crumbly. Evenly distribute over casserole.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Tip: I baked my sweet potatoes for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees to get them soft. The skin comes right off of them after you bake them.
