Wikipedia Article About Applesauce on Wikipedia

Applesauce (or apple sauce) is made from stewed and mashed apples, sweetened to taste with sugar or high fructose corn syrup. 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.

In the United Kingdom, apple sauce is not usually served as a dish on its own, but, as the name variant suggests, as a sauce. This usually accompanies a main course meat, and is most often paired with ham, pork, or gammon.

Unsweetened applesauce is a good food for babies. It is sometimes recommended to combat diarrhea.

The word "Applesauce" was a slang term frequently used during the 1920's, meaning "oh no!" or "darn". A cooked puree of apples, sugar and sometimes spices
