Apples Puree

Applesauce is a puree made from cooked apples. The apples are typically peeled, cored, and then cooked until soft, often with added water. After cooking, they are mashed or blended into a smooth or slightly chunky consistency.

Manufacturers use applesauce as a natural sweetener and moisture provider in baked goods like cookies and muffins. It can also serve as a fat replacer, adding moisture and tenderness while reducing the need for oil or butter. It's commonly found in wholesome snacks, breakfast items, and desserts.

Applesauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber and vitamin C. While it contains natural sugars, it is a whole food product. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not raised specific concerns about applesauce consumption at typical levels.
