Probiotic Fermented Apple Sauce

Learn how to make probiotic rich fermented apple sauce with this easy tutorial. This recipe is great for kids and adults!

This is my daughters new favorite snack! I’ve been trying to give her more fermented and cultured foods over the last few months. This apple sauce recipe along with full fat yogurt seem to be her favorite (for now).

You may be wondering why I ferment my apple sauce. Fermented foods are incredible good for the digestive system. They help build up good bacteria in the gut! Sauerkraut is one of the more popular fermented foods but unfortunately my kids don’t like it much.

But apple sauce – just about every kid likes apple sauce! This recipe is simple, popular, AND healthy.

How to make probiotic fermented apple sauce

Start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need:

• 6 – 8 medium size organic apples
• 2 tablespoons whey or water kefir
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

And then here’s how to combine them:

1. Core and slice the apples.
2. Blend apples in your food processor until they reach desired consistency. (I like a little chunky, but you may be different!) Add whey or kefir, cinnamon and salt.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour apple sauce into a clean quart size jar (or 2 pint size jars).
5. Leave an inch of space from apple sauce to lid. If you don’t, you may have an explosion!
6. Place somewhere warm for 3 days.

This apple sauce will keep in your refrigerator for up to two months!
