    Really Good, Really Easy Applesauce (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    If you want a tasty, healthy treat that's cheap, super simple to make and delivers big flavor, try this recipe for homemade applesauce. It's one of those dishes that kids can help you make, and which will leave smiles all around.

    Photo: CC-- Urban Sea StarIngredients:

    • 4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
    • ¾ cup water
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • ½-¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Directions:
    In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon.

    Cover, and cook over medium heat until apples are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.

    Allow to cool, then put them in a blender and blend until smooth. If you don't have a blender, then you can mash them with a fork or potato masher.

    Serve alone, or over ice cream or frozen yogurt.

    Jeff,

    I've been making applesauce for 50 years with NO sugar, and a hint cinnamon, and everyone who has ever tasted it says it's terrific!

    Unless the apples are really sour, not many are, you don't need to add sugar to make apple sauce, though you could add raisins for sweetening, but this is supposed to be some sort of healthy snack not chock full of sugar!

    I agree heartily with your comments, cinnamon is lovely with apples... yum, but no sugar added!

    I make my own applesauce anyway. I'm glad you wrote a recipe for us.

    Thank you.

    I'm glad to see a gluten-free recipe that's not afraid of sugar! I for one think there's nothing wrong with a little (stress "Little") sugar now and then, if you're not diabetic or allergic!

    This is one of my favorite desserts to make; it’s so fun to cook and serve. The sauce becomes incredibly aromatic as it cooks down. As simple, yet exotic desserts go, it’s a perfect way to top off a meal with flair. I usually poach peaches or pears in wine, but the rosemary in this recipe does something magical with the peach, I didn’t want to hide it behind the wine.
    Ingredients:
    2 pounds firm, ripe peaches
    ½ cup sugar
    ¼ cup water
    2 tablespoons honey
    2 strips lemon rind
    2 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 sprigs fresh rosemary
    Directions:
    Cut unpeeled peaches into 1-inch slices and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
    In a large saucepan, heat sugar, water, honey and remaining lemon juice over low-medium heat. Simmer until sugar dissolves completely. Add ro...

    Apple and Dill Deviled Eggs (Gluten-Free)
    Messing with the beloved deviled egg can be a dangerous gambit in my family. Luckily, a little apple goes a long way in this recipe. I like a bit more tang so I tend towards equal parts mayo and mustard in my filling, but you could easily use more mayonnaise like most recipes call for.
    Ingredients:
    6 hard-boiled eggs
    ½ Granny Smith apple, diced
    ½ shallot, diced
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
    ½ tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
    1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Preparation:
    Melt butter in pan over medium-heat and add shallots. Add apple and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add parsley and cook another minute longer. Remove from heat.
    Slice eggs in half lengthwise and combine yolks with mayon...

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      Could be the Ozampic is masking your expected symptoms. Like an analgesic masks pain. Qzampic slows digestion to lower the rate glucose enters the intestine to slow its effect on glucose level. It seems it might also slow down the gluten entry into the intestine, reducing its trigger level for the antibodies. Ultimately the damage from gluten is the same...

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Hello @MHavoc, thank you for your question and welcome to the clinic. First, has the contstipation abated with the GFD? If your are pursuing further diagnostics you must continue to eat gluten. Each lab has their own reference range for their test, but they indicate an H for high. Typically anything above 11 is considered positive. Mild...
