Ingredients
- 1.5 cups chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions
Add the chickpeas, applesauce, tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust sweetness or spices as desired. For a sweeter flavor, add a bit more maple syrup.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon as garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately with apple slices, graham crackers, or pita chips, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
