Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 large apples
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup dried apricots or other fruit OR 5-6 large dates

Preparation:

Place the dates or dried fruit in a small bowl and cover with the water. Allow to soak for at least 15-20 minutes. This will soften the fruit and make it easier to blend.

Remove the core from the apples, chop into several large chunks each and place in blender or food processor. Add the fruit and the water and puree until smooth, adding a bit more water if needed. Garnish with a bit of freshly ground cinnamon if desired.
