Healthy Tips for Applesauce

Healthy Tip #1 - If you're not in love with the specialized versions of applesauce at your local market, create your own gourmet versions. Start by purchasing unsweetened applesauce. Add your preferred amount of ground cinnamon, and just a dash nutmeg. As a note, nutmeg can be toxic in large amounts.

If you desire a sweeter applesauce without the added calories, add a bit of Splenda.

Healthy Tip #2 - Applesauce, most mashed fruits such as banana, light sour cream, as well as dried fruits such as dates work exceptionally well as a substitute for oil when baking while adding a unique, delicious flavor to the goody - not to mention an extra layer of health.

How do oil and applesauce compare? One cup of unsweetened applesauce contains 105 calories while one cup of oil contains a hefty 1,980 calories.  What about fat grams? Applesauce contains about 0.12 grams of fat per cup while oil contains 224.0 fat grams per cup.

Healthy Tip #3 - Applesauce makes a terrific healthy choice as a side sauce for roasted chicken, pork chops and so forth. Almost any situation where cranberry sauce will suffice, so will applesauce.

Healthy Tip #4 - Create your own healthy natural applesauce by cooking apples that have been cored and peeled. Add Splenda to save calories over sugar; add a bit of brown sugar to suit your personal taste, then the all-important ground cinnamon after the applesauce has cooled. Enjoy within a couple of days or so afterwards as naturally prepared recipes typically spoil sooner than commercially prepared foods. click to continue
