ApplesauceApplesauce (or apple sauce) is made from stewed and mashed apples, sweetened to taste with sugar. It can use peeled or unpeeled apples and a variety of spices or additives like cinnamon. Applesauce can be fine or coarse textured, even to including large chunks of apple. It is easily produced at home, and commercial versions are readily available in the supermarket as a common food or as a snack for children. Unsweetened applesauce is a good food for babies. It is sometimes recommended to combat diarrhea. In the United Kingdom (and possibly elsewhere) apple sauce is traditionally served with pork. Recipe from the 1881 Household Cyclopedia Pare and core tart apples, cut them in slices, rinse and put them in an earthern stewpan, set them on the fire, do not stir them until they burst and are done: mash them with a spoon, and when perfectly cool sweeten with white sugar to taste.
