Of course you can buy apple sauce from the store . . .when I’m short on time or traveling, I do that as well.
But most times, I go to the grocers, buy a beautiful bag of ORGANIC apples and make the tastiest apple sauce that doubles as medicine with the addition of sea moss 🙂

Sea Moss Apple Sauce (2 Flavors)
This recipe assumes that you are making 2 differently flavored batches of apple sauce. If you are making 1 batch, then use 4TB of tea + Â 4-5 cups water for 10 apples. Â Also, this isn’t an exact science. This is mindful cooking that requires your presence. Considering that apples produce their own liquid, you will have to estimate amount, however this recipe is a foundational guide.
Scale
Ingredients
- 10 organic apples
- 2 TB of your favorite flavored tea
- I used Whittard’s Very Berry Crush Tea and Orange+Cinnamon Tea
- 2.5 cups water
- (Optional : maple syrup)
Instructions
- Wash apples
- Peel them but leave some skin. Â The skin has loads of nutrients and pectin, which helps thicken the apple sauce
- Rough chop the apples and divide into 2 bowls. Each bowl will contain roughly 3.5 cups of apples.
- Brew 2 pots of tea using 2.5 cups water and 2 TB of tea per pot.
- Strain tea and return liquid to pot with the flame/heat on low.
- Add 3 1/2 cups of rough chopped apples to each pot.
- Simmer until the apples are soft and can be poked through or mashed with ease.
- Once apples are done, turn up flame and boil out the excess liquid.
- Once the liquid has been reduced so that it is 50% the amount of apples in the pot, use stick blender or blender and blend.
- Your apple sauce should be sweet on its own, but since every harvest isn’t the same, the apples may need help. In this case, add a touch of maple syrup until satisfied.
- Spoon or pour into clean, sterilized glass jars.
- Let cool.
- Once cool, cover and refrigerate.
- When it’s time to serve, spoon 2 TB of prepared sea moss (see sea moss recipe post) Â into the apple sauce and mix and enjoy.
