What is Applesauce?

Applesauce is a cooked-down mixture of pureed apples, sometimes with sugar or cinnamon added.

It’s a popular snack, especially for young children.

It’s sweet, has high levels of vitamin C, a good balance of other vitamins, and is a little acidic, giving it an all-around balanced flavor and some significant health benefits.

How is applesauce made?

Applesauce is made by peeling, coring, and chopping apples into small pieces, then boiling them with a little water in a saucepan until they’re nice and soft.

Then, an immersion blender or other type of blender is used to puree the apples until they’re a smooth sauce. 

The resulting cooked apple puree is applesauce, though sometimes it’s returned to the heat to reduce it further.
