Ingredients[]
- 10 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into eighths

- 3 – 4 flavored tea bags of your choice
- water
- sugar substitute, optional
Directions[]
- Place apples in a 5-quart pot.

- Hand-blend and mash to desired consistency.
- For additional sweetness, you can add sugar substitute.
- Yummy!
Variations[]
- Fruit compote: Use fruit of choice
- Crunchy fruit compote: Bring ingredients to a boil and cook on high heat for 7 minutes. Turn off heat and cover. Let stand overnight. In the morning, put into a jar and refrigerate. This can be frozen in an airtight container.
- Strawberry-rhubarb apple compote: Add 1½ cups of sliced strawberries and 1 cup of sliced rhubarb to the apples. Rhubarb is quite tart, so add sugar substitute according to taste. Blend well and refrigerate.
- Cinnamon applesauce: Add 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon to blended apples. For a beautiful crimson color, as well as additional flavor and fiber, add 1½ cups frozen blueberries.
