What is apple sauce used for?

Heyy foodies! I'm thinking about on the use of apple sauce. Is it a snack or can be used for cooking too? I have seen recipes that include it as a main ingredient. However, I'm not sure what it adds to the dish. Anyone who can shed some light on this? Would appreciate your insights!

I use my applesauce as a toppings for my Ice cream. I use vanilla so I can really taste the applesauce and it's so good especially this summer

Absolutely! Applesauce can be used as a healthy snack on its own or as a substitute for ingredients like oil or eggs in baking recipes. In baking, it adds moisture and sweetness while reducing the overall fat content. It's also a great way to incorporate natural sweetness and flavor into dishes like oatmeal, pancakes, and muffins without adding refined sugar.

I use it as a glaze for meats, such as pork chops or chicken. It adds a touch of sweetness and helps on keeping the meat moist during cooking.

Apple sauce can be a healthy substitute for oil or butter in recipes, like in baking or even in savory dishes like meatloaf or meatballs.
