Notes

  • Let the sauce cool down a bit before blending as it can be quite hot. Please blend carefully.
  • Apples vary in flavour. So if you use sweeter apples you could skip maple syrup. If you’re using sharper apples you might want to add more sweetness as you prefer.
  • You don’t have to peel the apples. Peeling is completely optional and saves you a lot of time. The peels will be soft and they’ll disappear when you blend.
  • Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • If you replace the maple syrup with a calorie-free sweetener, there are 0 Blue Plan Smartpoints in one serving!!
