Since a lot of you asked for this recipe, here is my basic recipe. I do like to change it up by adding nuts, cottage cheese, flaxseed, wheat germ, chocolate chips, etc. This is also good with butternut squash or acorn squash in place of the pumpkin.

Making applesauce couldn't be easier. Just 3 ingredients (probably ones that you already have on hand)! This recipe doesn't use sugar, because I find that it is not needed, but you could always add sugar to taste.

A lighter accompaniment to Turkey. All the flavors of Thanksgiving without swimming butter and sugar.
Dried cranberries (or other dried fruit) can be substituted for the fresh cranberries, if the fresh are not available.
