Questions about Applesauce
How do you make applesauce at home?
Peel, core and chop apples, then simmer them with a splash of water and a squeeze of lemon, covered, for 15–20 minutes until very soft. Mash for a chunky texture or blend until smooth; add cinnamon if you like.
How long does homemade applesauce keep?
Cool it promptly, then keep it in a covered container in the fridge and use it within 3–4 days. Freeze it in small portions for up to 3 months, leaving a little room in each container for expansion.
What do you eat applesauce with?
Serve it alongside roast pork or sausages, or spoon it over porridge, pancakes or yoghurt. It also works as a filling or layer in apple cakes and desserts.
Can you use applesauce instead of oil in a cake?
Yes: replace some of the oil with the same amount of applesauce to make a cake moist, but replacing all the oil can make it dense or gummy. It works especially well in spiced cakes and muffins.
Is applesauce the same as apple compote?
They are both cooked apple preparations, but applesauce is usually mashed or puréed until smooth, while compote often keeps soft apple pieces intact. The names and textures can overlap.
How much applesauce is a typical serving?
A small bowl of about 100 g is a practical serving. That provides 68 kcal.
Should you buy sweetened or unsweetened applesauce?
Choose unsweetened applesauce when you want the apple flavour without added sugar, especially for cooking or baking. Sweetened versions can be useful as a ready-to-eat dessert, but taste them before adding more sugar to a recipe.
