3 medium Fuji (or other sweet variety) apples cut into small pieces
3 large soft dates pitted
2 tablespoons raisins
2 sun-dried figs
1/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 small orange seeded
cinnamon

1. Remove and discard the pits from the dates and place in a bowl with the raisins and figs. Cover with water and let soak 8 hours or overnight. Drain.
2. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and purée until fairly smooth.
3. Serve immediately or chilled. Refrigerate leftover sauce in a covered container for several days.

* Once the applesauce has been blended, add the seeds from half of a pomegranate for a crunchy, juicy surprise.

HELPFUL TIP
After soaking dried fruits, don’t throw out the liquid. You can use it to soak muesli, or to cook oatmeal or other hot cereals. You can also include it as part or all of the liquid needed to make pancakes or muffins.
