Best Apples for Applesauce
We prefer applesauce that doesn’t need any sugar added. Honeycrisps (or other sweet varieties) work well for creating a naturally sweet sauce. For a tart applesauce, you can choose Granny Smith apples instead. We hope you LOVE this applesauce. It’s:Naturally sweetSuper simpleQuickVersatileGreat for freezing& SO delicious! It’s incredible by the spoonful but would also pair well with coconut yogurt, vegan vanilla ice cream, coconut whipped cream, oats, waffles, pancakes (or vegan pancakes), latkes, and so much more! We think you could even use it as an alternative topping for our Caramel Apple Cheesecake Tart.
Recipes with Applesauce
Some of our vegan baking recipes use applesauce as an egg replacement. To use this homemade applesauce in such recipes, we recommend puréeing into a smoother texture.
