Ingredients for Applesauce And Peanut Butter Spread Or Dip

  • 1 cup applesauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, your preference)
  • Nuts
  • Coconut
  • Fruit
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Raisins
  • Almond Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or to taste)

How to Make Applesauce And Peanut Butter Spread Or Dip

  1. **Smooth Method (Blender/Hand Mixer):** Combine 1 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a blender or bowl. Blend until completely smooth. Add more honey or cinnamon to taste.
  2. **Chunky Method (Wooden Spoon):** In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon using a wooden spoon. Mix until well combined, leaving some chunks of peanut butter and/or applesauce for texture.
  3. **Customize & Enjoy:** Taste and adjust sweetness and spices as needed. Add a pinch of salt for balance. For a richer flavor, use apple butter instead of applesauce (adjust quantity as needed for desired consistency).
  4. **Refrigerate:** Cover and refrigerate any unused portion for up to 5 days.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
