Ingredients for Applesauce Topping For Pancakes Or Oatmeal

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • Honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Water

How to Make Applesauce Topping For Pancakes Or Oatmeal

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup applesauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through and slightly thickened. The topping should be heated, but not boiling.
  3. Serve immediately over your favorite pancakes, oatmeal, or granola. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
