Why suitable for low histanmine diet

The Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce uses ingredients that are known to be low in histamine. As it doesn't use any high-histamine or histamine liberator ingredients, the snack is suitable for those with histamine intolerance. The apples provide a nutritious and low-histamine base, while cinnamon, often used in low-histamine diets, adds flavor without increasing histamine levels. Furthermore, the lemon juice not only contributes to the flavor, but also has potential histamine-lowering properties.

6 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 cup of water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

0In a large pot, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice. Turn the heat on high and bring to a boil.
1Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2Remove the pot from the heat. If you like chunky applesauce, mash the apples to your desired consistency with a potato masher or a fork. If you prefer smooth applesauce, use an immersion blender.
3Stir in the honey and cinnamon until well combined.
4Let the applesauce cool down before serving. If you prefer it chilled, let it cool down and then store in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Tipps

Choosing the Right Apples

Golden Delicious apples are recommended for their sweet, mild flavor. However, if you prefer a tart applesauce, you can substitute with Granny Smith apples.

Adjusting Sweetness

Feel free to adjust the amount of honey based on your personal taste. If you prefer less sweet, start with 1 tablespoon of honey and add more as needed.

Store Properly

Store the applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to one week.

Serve with Toppings

Add some extra flavors by serving the applesauce with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. If you can tolerate dairy, a dollop of Greek yogurt also pairs well.

Ensure Flavor is Fully Incorporated

Ensure you stir in the honey and cinnamon while the applesauce is still warm. This will help properly dissolve and distribute these ingredients.

Avoid Browning

The lemon juice in the recipe helps keep the applesauce from turning brown. However, be sure to cover and chill it quickly after cooking to preserve its fresh color.
