Before processing, I remove the cinnamon sticks add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per quart of applesauce. 20 minutes in the canner and we have a healthy snack that keeps my boys happy through the winter.
I’ve mentioned apple peel chips before, but just a reminder that a quick trip through the oven with some cinnamon makes a healthy snack!
