I've been pretty hooked on making this delish applesauce. I eat it plain, either cold or hot, or add it to oatmeal (my fav). There's a bit of a debate about pointage as the WW website says a cooked apple has points while a raw apple doesn't. I used their message boards to get an idea of what other people think. One smarty said if I made the applesauce myself and KNOW I didn't add anything with points then it should be 0 because you can buy jarred applesauce (no sugar added) and it's 0 points. So I count it as 0. Here's the skinny on making it....
Ingredients :
1 bag of apples
fresh or frozen whole cranberries (check the organic section of your grocery store)
1/4 TSP Baking Soda (to cut the tartness of the cranberries)
Cinnamon (to taste)
Truvia or Splenda
2-3 cups Water
Dice up the apples (I like mine chunky) and add them and all the other ingredients to a large pot. Start with 2 cups of water, you can always add more if need be.
Cook for 20-30 minutes or until it's the consistency you like. I put it in the fridge and use it throughout the week. It's sooooo super yummy!
