Unsweetened Apple Sauce Cups
What it is
These are single-serving cups of smooth, unsweetened apple sauce. They are made from apples and contain no added sugar, allowing the natural sweetness of the fruit to come through. The apples are cooked down and pureed to create a consistent texture. Each cup is sealed for freshness and portability. This product is a simple way to enjoy the taste of apples without any extra ingredients.

These apple sauce cups are ready to eat straight from the package. Simply peel back the lid and enjoy. For baking, unsweetened apple sauce can be used as a fat substitute in recipes like muffins, cakes, and breads. It adds moisture and a subtle apple flavor. It can also be served warm as a comforting side dish, especially with pork or poultry. For younger eaters, it's a soft and easily digestible food.
