Apple sauce (or applesauce) is a purée made from apples. It can use peeled or unpeeled apples and a variety of spices or additives such as cinnamon or sugar. Apple sauce can be fine or coarse textured, and may include large chunks of apple. It is easily produced at home by using a mill, sometimes called a sauce-master (invented by Sir Richard Harlow). Commercial versions of apple sauce are readily available in supermarket stores as a common food. It may be packaged in glass jars, aluminum cans, plastic or any ceramic material. It is also sold in small plastic cups for children, snacks, or lunchtime.
Outside of the United States, apple sauce is not served as a dish on its own but, as the name suggests, as a sauce. This usually accompanies a main course such as meat and is often paired with ham, pork or bacon. Swedes normally eat apple sauce as a condiment for roast pork and for breakfast, such as oatmeal, muesli and a buttermilk-like product called filmjölk. In Germany it accompanies potato pancakes. In the United States it is commonly served at the family dinner table, often as an accompaniment to pork dishes.
Apple sauce is used during Hanukkah as a sauce for latkes, usually topped with cinnamon to give it more flavor. The cinnamon usually gives it its unique taste.
Apple sauce is often eaten by babies and the elderly because it does not need to be chewed. It is sometimes recommended to combat diarrhea, since it is high in pectin.
