Chunky Pumpkin Apple Sauce

chunky pumpkin applesauce
Print Recipe

Part spiced applesauce, part pumpkin butter, this condiment is addictive! I love to spoon it over oatmeal, but most of the time I just eat it straight with a spoon! I love to bite into chunks of apple, but if you like smooth applesauce, feel free to puree.
