Applesauce is always one of those handy ingredients to always keep in the kitchen. It’s delicious on it’s own as a raw snack and particularly indispensable for all kinds of low-fat, egg-free or vegan baking adventures, yet it’s also one of those ingredients that never makes it into my shopping basket.
