Crockpot Applesauce With Cranberries (Vegan) Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
10 12 medium apples 1 to 2 cups cranberry juice 1/2 lemon juiced 2 tbsp sugar, or up to 1/4cup if 1 you want it sweet 1/4 to 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 or craisins (sweetened 1 dried 1 cranberries)
Recipe
Preparation
Wash the apples and chop them up without peeling. Squeeze lemon juice over them as you cut them.
Put apples in crockpot with cranberry juice -- use 1 cup if you want the applesauce thick, more if you want it thin. Stir in sugar to suit your taste.
Let apples stew on low for 6-8 hours. About an hour or two before serving, stir in cranberries or craisins. (All I found at my store was craisins--since they're sweetened, I used less sugar.)
The applesauce is a very pretty pink and the cranberries & juice give it a nice zing.
As you can see, the recipe is simple and forgiving -- let the apples stew a little longer or a little less ~- the longer you stew them the mushier the applesauce will be. It warms up nicely, or you can eat it cold.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
If you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
Some lower carb diet tips:
* Use soya flour or baking mix.
When you need to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a soy baking mix such as Atkins bake mix. In many cases, you may adapt your best loved recipes that use white flour to use these.
* Don't miss meals
Most low carb recipes are, not surprisingly, low in carbohydrates. Your body must have energy, and carbohydrates are a quick acting source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires great care in managing your energy levels, as any energy contributed by protein and fat is far slower to act.
Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, kale, soy and tea)
The large family of compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these natural foods are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Medical experts studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they may also have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-dermatitis and anti-platelet properties.
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
