Blueberry Applesauce Vegitarian Friendly

---

Inspired by healthy pick's blueberry-pomegranate applesauce. I don't know if this tastes like healthy pick's because i've never sampled theirs. This is a copycat recipe in the sense that i copied the ingredients and embellished with my own. Please substitute another sweetener of your choice. Ingredient amounts are estimated. I had visions of blueberry pie dancing in my head while composing this recipe...
