Servings: 8
Equipment
- Apple Corer Optional
- Pot Large with Lid
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ Pounds apples I used gala apples
- 1 ¼ Pounds guava
- ¾ Cup granulated sugar or monk fruit, optional
- 1 Stick cinnamon
- 4 Cups water
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the apples and guava. Peel, core and chop the apples. Cut the guava into small pieces.
- Place the fruit in a large pot with the water. Add the cinnamon stick, vanilla and sugar. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and let the fruit simmer until the apples can be easily mashed and most of the water has evaporated. Stir frequently. Keep in mind the fruit will make its own juice as they cook.
- Remove from heat and transfer them to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Push the apples and guava through a strainer to catch any the small guava seeds and any pieces of the peel.
- Let the guava applesauce cool for an hour before serving.
Notes
Use ripe guava: It blends more easily and offers better sweetness and aroma.
Don’t skip straining: Guava seeds are tough and can ruin the smooth texture.
Serve creatively: Try it over pancakes, oatmeal, or even roasted pork.
