Pumpkin Applesauce Recipe

This Pumpkin Applesauce Recipe is easy to make and the perfect way to celebrate fall flavors!

This weeks theme for Sunday Supper is "Sauce it Up". 

Sometimes when I see the upcoming Sunday Supper themes I need a little time to think about what I want to make. This time I knew immediately. 

I had been wanting to do something with pumpkin and apples. I wanted to make something that was versatile, something that could be used in a sweet or savory recipe. I settled on making pumpkin applesauce because I knew it could go with anything from chicken and pork, to oatmeal and ice cream. 

Kevin had no idea I was making this, so when he came home from work he was happily surprised. He loves pumpkin. 

I think I mentioned a week or so back that after 5 years I just found that out. 

Way to be on the ball Bobbi!! 

Anyway, as soon as he walked in the door he was greeted with a big spoonful of the sauce.

Me - Here, eat this.

Kevin - What is it?

Me - Just try it, you will like it!

Kevin - Famous last words!!

Me - Oh come on, you know I wouldn't feed you anything bad!

Kevin - (after taking a bite.....and then the whole jar) This is for me right?

Me - Sure....good thing I made more than one!

The recipe actually yielded a little under 3 pints, so Kevin got one, I got one, and the kids will get one too. 

Everybody wins!! 

Pumpkin Applesauce

4 golden delicious apples, cored, peeled, and chopped
