Applesauce Update

Don't forget if you have kidos this is a great project to get their help on!

One of my favorite activities to have kids help me with is 

SMASHING!

So here's how this recipe can become little helper hand friendly...

Once apples are cooked remove from crockpot

depending on age round up a few common kitchen items

for little helpers...

Grab a ziploc style bag and add the cooled apples

tightly close the bag

hand off to kido

and let them smash to their hearts content!

For kids a little older

Grab a large bowl and tater masher

add cooled apples to bowl

stand back and behold the destruction!

While they are doing this you can process the rest of the apples or if you have time let them do the whole batch. 

With both of these methods the kids can dig right in after mashing

they can even help add a few flavors

try topping with fresh fruits or squeezing a little honey to sweeten it up a bit!
