Apple Mixed Bean Dip

Beans and apples. Apples and beans. Not really a typical combination, but one that certainly works with this dip. Reminiscent of hummus, this dip can be made as thick or as thin as you wish by adjusting the amount of apple cider vinegar and applesauce, both of which provide a subtle apple flavor. The vinegar adds a nice hit of acidity, and the applesauce provides some sweetness. 
Apple Mixed Bean Dip
one can (540mL) mixed beans (includes red kidney beans, white kidney beans, chickpeas, black-eyed peas, romano beans, baby lima beans)
2-3 cloves garlic
2-3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Purée all ingredients in a food processor until smooth and well blended. Use as a dip for veggies or crackers, or as a spread like hummus.
