Carrot Applesauce

Source of Recipe


From "Little Bento" by Michele Olivier



List of Ingredients



• 6 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  
• 4 carrots, chopped
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  
• 1 cup water
  






Instructions



1. In a large stockpot, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly.
   
   
2. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunky applesauce, pulse for 20 seconds. For a smooth applesauce, purée on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds.
   
   
3. Serve warm or cold. If packing in a bento, it should be chilled first.
