Preparation
Apple sauce is made by cooking down apples with water or apple cider (fresh apple juice) to the required level. More acidic apples will render a finer purée; the highly acidic Bramley apple is popular for creating a very fine purée. Apples may or may not be peeled; sugar, spices, or lemon juice could also be added for flavoring. Apple butter is similar to apple sauce, but has a high cider to apple ratio, of 8 liters to 100 kilograms.
Use and availability
Apple sauce was once a food prepared for winter, since it keeps well. It is often an accompaniment to a main course. In Sweden and Britain, for instance, apple sauce is usually eaten as a condiment for roast pork. In Germany it accompanies potato pancakes. In the Netherlands, people often eat it with their fries; It is also a popular accompaniment in the United States and is sometimes served as a dessert there as well, alone or used in making apple sauce cake. In France where it is referred to as compote, it is mostly viewed as a dessert and served at room temperature, with the notable exception of boudin aux pommes (dark blood sausage with apple sauce). In Portugal as well, maçã cozida (cooked apple) is solely viewed as a dessert.
It has been suggested that it can substitute for fat (e.g. butter/oil) in baking.
Diarrhea remedy
Since it is high in pectin (more of which can be added during the cooking process), apple sauce is a homemade remedy to combat diarrhea. Apple sauce is thus a component of the regimen devised to help children with diarrhea and stomach problems, also known as the BRAT diet; bananas, rice, apple sauce, and toast.
