Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Heidi, What kind of flour are you using to make the muffins? Applesauce... There are several ways. You can core and peel apples and bake them in a small amount of water in the oven. Then blend them up after they are done. (about 20 minutes on 350). You can boil the apples, peel them and blend them up. I think the boiled ones taste more like the " natural " applesauce that comes in jars. The baked ones remind me of pureed apple pie filling, probably because my husband always put cinnamon in the baked ones.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi..we make applesauce and pearsauce all the time around here! We just peel and core and boil them until they are really soft in water. Drain and mash with potato masher or in food processor. It is easy and we don't even add anything to it most of the time. Good luck! Mom to Slater SCD-dairy egg free 4 months PDD/NOS 2 years old yesterday! > Hi all! > I'm a horrible cook (confession time here).

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Jody, I was using almond flour to make muffins. Is there something else that would be better? Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Carol, I wasn't happy with the almond flour (or the muffins), they came out to nutty and dense. I will try the pecan flour and see if that is better. Thanks! Heidi Mom to Abigail 5yo, ASD and Liam 3yo ASD, just starting SCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 <<How do you make your apple sauce? I thought I heard someone say they did it in the crock pot? How? Thanks! Heidi>> Fill crockpot with peeled, cored, cut-up apples (or slices)....... put on the lid, turn it on, cook all day. I start on high and turn it down to low after a couple of hours. I don't add any water.... but you could add a tidge.... maybe a tablespoon or two at most. Patti, Katera's mommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Not Jody but suggesting that pecan Flour is light, has a very pleasant flavor and is sometimes tolerated better than almond flour. If you are satisfied with results of almond flour there is no need to change. On Sunday, January 18, 2004, at 07:55 PM, Hsmcmillen@... wrote: > Jody, > I was using almond flour to make muffins.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Heidi, It depends more on what type of almond flour you used. Was it blanched almond flour (sort of creamy colored and very fine)? If not, that may be why you didn't get fluffy muffins. Also, which recipe did you use? Maybe we can help you.
