There’s something about Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce that makes even grownups love it and take a second serving. Especially when it’s served alongside some delicious Garlic Thyme Pork Chops or maybe a roasted Peppered Pork Loin.
It’s so simple to make, with just 4 ingredients, yet so delicious. Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce can be served warm or cold. I always use a few green apples (Granny Smith or Pippin), but if I happen to have some red apples, such as a crisp Pink Lady apple, I’ll add them in also. 
Next time you cook pork for dinner, make some Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce to go along with it.
