Bubby and Bean ::: Living Creatively: Apple Sauce Apple Pie Side Dish

Before I share this incredible holiday meal side dish recipe, I have to comment on the fact that this is the longest I've ever gone without posting here. I still have quite a bit of traffic to this blog, but truth be told, the vast majority of my following is on Instagram. That said, I'm going to make the effort to post at least a few times a month here in 2023. I still haven't given up on the theory that blogs are going to once again reign supreme eventually!

When it comes to holiday meals, I could eat my weight in mashed potatoes, but my absolute favorite is a truly elevated side dish that I called "Apple Sauce Apple Pie." It's a simple, delicious way to add a little sweetness to holiday meals, and the perfect alternative to cranberry sauce.

Apple Sauce Apple Pie
(serves 5)

INGREDIENTS
1 24 ounce jar apple sauce (I use Musselman's Original Apple Sauc
1 apple
1 tablespoon maple syrup
cinnamon
ground nutmeg
ground ginger

Peel apple and cut into small cubes. Pour applesauce in a small serving bowl. Top with cubed apples. Drizzle maple syrup over the top, then sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

This is extremely simple and can be served as a quick dessert as well.

Happy holidays, friends. If I'm not back here before then, Happy New Year too!
