Quick Pumpkin Applesauce

I was craving a pumpkin treat today, but didn't have time to bake anything. I decided to mix up a little pumpkin combination that turned out to be quite delicious. I loved how all the flavors blended and the raisins plumped up perfectly. Next time I have this, I might add some cranberries instead of raisins and maybe top it with a few graham cracker crumbs.


Easy Pumpkin Applesauce
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 tbsp raisins
dash of pumpkin pie spice
dash of cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together and heat in microwave for 1 minute. If you use unsweetened applesauce, you may need to add a little sweetener.

    Great idea! Definitely try the graham cracker crumbs - it was great on my "warm pumpkin pie cream of wheat" this morning!!

    Looking forward to having the Maple Cornbread Muffins for breakfast tomorrow!

    Megan, you are so creative. This sounds so yummy. I too would probably add cranberries or cherries. Hugs my friend.

    I'll totally have to make some of this :) And back to your comment to me...I have family in Edison too! I grew up in South Orange (where Seton Hall University is) so that's where I was this past week :)

    What a tasty idea! I sometimes bake with applesauce, and this would be a great and lean way to enhance the flavor in a batch of muffins :). I'd love to include your recipe on our blog, please email me if you're interested.

    Thanks!
