Naturally Sweetened Pot o’ Gold Applesauce
Watch Out for Unhealthy Applesauce!
Be really careful when you’re buying applesauce at the grocery store. A surprisingly large amount of the brands and varieties out there contain high-fructose corn syrup. We recommend you simply purchase natural, unsweetened applesauce and add flavorings like cinnamon on your own at home.
A Surprising Sweetener
In this recipe, we don’t add any sweetener at all, except for golden raisins. Not only do they look like cute little nuggets of leprechaun gold, but they’re also delicious stirred into the applesauce!
How to Make These Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
To save a little time, I almost always buy pre-cut, bagged cauliflower. Of course, you can also purchase whole heads if you’d prefer.
To make those cute little shamrocks that we used for decoration, cut thin (about 1/4″ – 1/2″) vertical slices of green Granny Smith apples. Then, use a sharp (preferably metal), shamrock-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shamrocks. Our cookie cutter was about 1 3/4″ which was a perfect size!
