So now that we've made Applesauce and canned it, what do you do with it? Well...you eat it of course!! haha!

Seriously, eating a bowl of Applesauce warm or cold can get a little hum-drum sometimes, so here are some ways to eat it and use it that you may not have thought of before!

Apple Sauce Granola Breakfast/Snack.....top a bowl of applesauce with your favorite granola and serve warm or cold.

Apple Sauce and Gingerbread....gingerbread is actually a cake and topped with homemade applesauce and whipped cream, you'd think you would have died and gone to heaven.....mmmmmmmm!

Apple Sauce and Meat....served over or on the side of meats such as Pork chops or tenderloin, chicken breast, or even beef makes a great combination of sweet and salty!

Apple Sauce Crisp....instead of making an apple crip, use your applesauce, cover it with your struesel topping and bake for 10 minutes at 350 or just until the topping is browned....quick and easy dessert!

Apple Sauce Cake,Bread, Muffins....search online and you will find many recipes! Applesauce makes a great addition to carrot and zuccini type breads and cakes, muffins, even pancakes! You could also use it as a filling in cakes....spreading it thinly between layers of a spice cake for example.

Apple Sauce in Baking....speaking of baking, Applesauce is know to be a great substitue for OIL in baking recipes. Substitute equal amounts of Applesauce for oil and you can greatly reduce the fat in a baking recipe!

Apple Sauce and Sweet Potatoes...whip some Applesauce into your mashed sweet potatoes with a little butter and brown sugar....oh yum! You could even reduce the amount of butter used because the Applesauce will help smooth out the texture.

Apple Sauce and Ice Cream....just pour it over, add some graham crackers or granola and you have a great treat!
