Applesauce is refreshing, delicious and easy to make. It can be used as desserts, a snack or light lunch, with ice creams or yoghurts, or as a garnish to roast meat (pairs well with pork chops). It can also be substituted for butter, oil or eggs in baking.
Also high in pectin, applesauce can serve as a homemade remedy to combat diarrhoea and other stomach problems.
