Peel, core, and dice apple.
Place diced apple in mini-crockpot and add water.
Add cinnamon.
Cook at least two hours.
When finished, mash with spoon or fork, or place in blender to reach desired consistency.
Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.NOTE: I've made applesauce this way for years and it is so natural and delicious! It makes for a great treat while on protocol.

For Dinner try this....
Spicy White Chili
100g cooked chicken breast, shredded
1-4 c broth (depending on how soupy you want it)
4 cloves minced garlic
1/2 t cumin
1/4 t oregano
1/4 t red pepper flakes
1/8 t ground cloves
tabasco or hot sauce to taste
Preheat pot over MED-HI heat.
Add all ingredients except for tabasco/hot sauce.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer, cover, & cook 30 mins.
Add tabasco or hot sauce right before serving.TIP: This is also great fixed in a small crockpot. Toss everything in and put it on while you're out and come back to great tasting dinner! If using the crockpot, you can use cut up uncooked chicken (even frozen!). Feel free to add your allowed vegetable to this as well - I usually add chopped onion.
