Easy Pink Applesauce is a twist on the classic recipe that adds a delightful pop of color and flavor to your everyday snack routine. The recipe is incredibly easy to make and requires only two ingredients: apples and creme de cassis. The sweet-tart flavor of the pink applesauce is perfect for dipping fruits or crackers or as a topping for oatmeal or toast.

Instructions

1.	Wash, peel and chop the apples and place them into a large pot.
2.	Pour in 1/4 cup of creme de cassis and bring to a boil over high heat.
