From the April 2010 issue of Sunset Magazine. Red Delicious apples are used in the original recipe but they unfortunately are not my favorite variety. I substituted Pink Lady.
Ingredients:
4 apples, washed well, unpeeled, cored and cut into chunks
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1 pinch kosher salt
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Directions:
1. Combine apples, zest, juice, cardamom, cinnamon and salt in a food processor.
2. Whirl on PULSE to desired consistency, scraping down the sides as necessary. Note: I preferred the applesauce in small pieces as opposed to a smooth sauce. You will definitely need more than 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice. I had to add at least one half cup more liquid-diluted orange juice with filtered water, to attain the consistency I wanted. You'll have to drain the applesauce, too.
3. Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt and garnish with the toasted pecans.
