What it is
Unsweetened applesauce is a puree made from cooked apples. It is typically made by simmering apples until soft, then pureeing them. It can be made with or without the skin and core, and no sugar or sweeteners are added.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use unsweetened applesauce as a fat replacer in baked goods like cakes, muffins, and cookies, helping to reduce calories and fat while adding moisture. It can also act as a binder and add a subtle fruity flavor.
Health notes

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated apples and their derivatives, and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has also assessed related compounds. At typical consumption levels, it is considered a healthy part of a balanced diet.
