It's perfect for afterschool snacks or to take to work for a little pick me up! (and imagine being given a little canning jar of this from a friend or coworker as a gift or if you were sick? )
I made mine with Splenda for my diabetic husband, but you can substitute sugar or any sweetener to your own taste.
Jan's Tip: I prefer thicker applesauce so I start with 1/4 cup water. you can add more after blending the sauce if you like it thinner. You can also thicken a "too thin" sauce by cooking it over med. heat for a few minutes after blending it to reduce the liquid till desired thickness.Printable Copy
