This is an easy recipe that uses fresh apples and sweet strawberries. We absolutely love this Strawberry Apple Sauce. It’s sweet, easy to whip up, and a perfect batch cooking staple if you’re feeling crafty. The mix of apples and strawberries is a match made in heaven and we think that once you try this homemade sauce you might not be buying the store-bought version anytime soon.
If it seems strange to see apples and strawberries together in the same dish it might be because the first one we associate with fall and the second we associate with summer. It’s a bit like seeing the sun and the moon together, but in warmer places that is not such a crazy occurrence.
When berry season is ending, apple season is beginning so it might seem like the time you have to prepare this sauce is very narrow. Do not fret, if fresh strawberries are not an option then frozen strawberries for the win!
This Strawberry Apple Sauce is a pretty perfect treat or dessert to make for your little ones. You’ll be upping their fruit intake while appealing to their sweet side. If you are preparing for a toddler you might want to consider reducing the sugar a bit. Place it in small containers and you have a kid snack ready to eat!

I think this flavor combo sounds delicious. Yes, I agree you are using two fruits from different seasons but you can always get apples and where I live we are lucky to have strawberries throughout the year.
