     I have made this with sweet potato also. I use the sweeter jugi apple. Great spread on half a hot english muffin right from the pan. When cold it flavours plain yogurt well too. too. - 11/18/11

     this is also really good when you stir a tablespoon in to your oatmeal, tastes like pumkin pie. - 11/9/11

     Note, if using fresh pumpkin, "ring" it out before pureeing or your recipe will be liquidy. still really good! - 11/13/11

     Nice alternative-tasty! I added no calorie brown sugar substitute for a bit more sweetness and extra cinnamon. - 11/19/11

     Is there a substitute for the apple cider? I live in the UK now and they don't have American style apple cider, they only have alcoholic cider. - 10/31/11

    You can use apple juice

     Served this with apples and graham cracker sticks for a Thanksgiving appetizer. Everyone enjoyed it!! - 11/27/11

     I make this with regular (fresh-squeezed) apple juice, use dates to sweeten it if needed and stir it into my morning latté for a healthier (tastier!) pumpkin spice latté. - 10/19/14
  • CLOEARIEL
     I would love it to be a sweeter. Perhaps I will use a different apple next time. - 11/3/11

     This sounds really good, I love pumpkin pie! I will try it by micro-waving the apple for one minute WITH the peel, then process the apple first before cooking. I micro-wave apples all the time, tastes like pie without added sugar. I have not heard of an immersion blender, what is it? - 11/27/11

     FailteMyra - try using a really good quality apple juice instead of apple cider., and some light or white balsamic - or even some lime juice.
    I hadn't even been aware that there was this difference! Cider is cider - a slightly alcoholic apple (or pear) drink, and can be still or sparkling. - 11/18/11
