Creamy sugar free high protein applesauce. This nutritious snack is perfect for busy families craving a tasty, healthy after school snack, easy breakfast, or just a treat! Despite being sugar free our applesauce recipe is the perfect blend of savory and sweet with the addition of protein!
Peel and dice your apples. Then add them into a medium pot, add the pumpkin spice and salt and cover with water.
Cook on medium-low heat until the apples are nice and soft, roughly 20 minutes.
For a smooth apple sauce transfer the sauce to a high-speed blender (or food processor) and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunky texture then leave as or use a potato masher or fork to help break down the larger apple pieces.
Finally, add in your preferred protein powder and mix until well combined. Serve warm or store for later (see notes for storage)
