Cookbook:Applesauce

| Fruit

Applesauce is a preparation of cooked and puréed apples.

Characteristics
Applesauce is very high in moisture, with a slight grainy texture. It can remain unsweetened or can be sweetened with the addition of sugar. Acid, particularly citric acid, is often added for a sour flavor and to reduce browning.

Use
Applesauce can be eaten plain, often with a sprinkle of cinnamon. It can also be used in cooking and baking to impart moisture and flavor.
