When baking, this applesauce can replace some of the fat or sugar in recipes, contributing to a tender crumb and natural sweetness. It is excellent in muffins, cakes, and quick breads. For savory applications, it can be simmered with spices to create a glaze for pork or chicken, or blended into a sauce to add a touch of fruitiness. It can also be served as a simple side dish or a light dessert on its own.

Unlike sweetened applesauce, this version relies solely on the natural sugars present in the apples. This makes it a good choice for those looking to control their sugar intake or for recipes where added sweetness is not desired. Its unsweetened profile also allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the overall sweetness of a dish.

How to keep the rest
