slo’s THURSDAY 1/9 poll - Flavored Applesauce

[slo]

There are so many varieties of applesauce today - something for everyone. You can scoop it out of a big jar, you eat it out of a little cup or you can squeeze it in your mouth. So. Many. Options! Today we are discussing applesauce flavors - there’s a lot of those too. Since I don’t have enough options on the poll, I’ve narrowed it down to what’s on the Mott’s applesauce website. Share with us today……

Do you eat flavored applesauce?
If yes…..what flavor(s) do you like?
(multiple choice)



For Me……I eat a cup of flavored applesauce almost every day with my lunch (it’s like my dessert, just a little something sweet). My favorite flavor is pear and the other flavors I eat (mainly strawberry) are no sugar added. I got the inspiration for this poll as I was looking online to see where I could find the pear flavor, because my local grocery stores don’t carry it anymore, and I found it at a Super WalMart about a 1/2 hour away. I think my DH and I will need to take a ride soon for me to stock up

If I eat any it’s usually plain but I do like pears so I may try the pear !! I’ll have to check my Walmart to see if they have it!

When I used to buy , I'd buy the big bottle plain and sprinkle cinnamon on it, and warm it a bit. My kids were shocked when at a church dinner, it was served cold. I no longer buy it, because half the family is allergic to Apples. With DGD, was amazed how much has apples in it. DH is allergic. He was in the hospital and on meal tray was apple juice. Told kitchen about it. Was replaced with cranberry juice. Fortunately it was a sealed cup (like a juice box) with ingredients. Any guesses what the second ingredient was......dum dum dummmmmmmm apples juice. Had to argue, he can't drink it.....but it's cranberry juice......read the label...

Funny on the timing of this poll, yesterday at store seeing applesauce on sale...hmmm....maybe I'll make some potato pancakes and as a kid we always ate them with applesauce. Alas, it stayed at the store. I buy too many things that I MIGHT use.

I like cinnamon in my applesauce.

 

[Meriweather]

I don't eat any applesauce......just an apple with lunch everyday. The fiber is good and so is the crunch

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

My favorite kind of applesauce is plain. I kind of got out of the habit of eating it, but I really like it.

I like plain old applesauce. If I eat a real apple it's got to be a Red Delicious. My Granny (back in the day) had an Apple Orchard. Great memories of running around all the trees.

I make and can my own applesauce. I like my apple sauce to have chunks of apples and not be purée smooth. I just use apples and apple cider to make mine. No sugar or other flavors.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I eat plain applesauce too. I've had cinnamon before, but I don't go out of my way to get it. Everyone in the house prefers plain

We do eat a lot of fresh apples too. Today part of my lunch will be arugula with apple chunks and a cider vinaigrette. And bean soup.

I make mine as well, though I don't can it. It is so easy and so much better than store bought. I put a pinch of cinnamon in. I love it mixed with some steel cut oatmeal for a warm breakfast.

The only time I use store bought applesauce is I have a couple of quick bread recipes where I like to use applesauce in place of the vegetable oil, so I keep a jar of plain on hand.

 

[TippyThomas]

I like plain, no sugar added applesauce when/if I eat it. I don't have it very often though.

 

[Dan Murphy]

We use plain, no sugar added. I'll add a little cinnamon.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I don't buy it often, but when I do I like the little cups mixed with other fruit flavors - I think I've had pear, strawberry, mango peach, and mixed berry.

 

[NAB]

I don’t like apple sauce never buy it anymore since the kids left home. They liked the strawberry one in their school lunch.

If I eat any it’s usually plain but I do like pears so I may try the pear !! I’ll have to check my Walmart to see if they have it!

If you like pears why don't you just buy pears. (they still sell them, I've seen um!) If you like apples that's seems to be the reason for the existence of Apple Sauce. If you like strawberry's buy strawberry's. And so on and so on. Cinnamon is the only thing that usually cannot be consumed by itself and is really considered a spice so that is the only one that is probably passable. That, however, can be added at home so one gets a twofer, Plain or Cinnamon.

Sprout's Original Applesauce for me. Dad sometimes will get a flavor for himself.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

It's not a regular thing for me, but I do tend to like it when we have it around. I usually save a few $$$ and opt for the store brand. So, that only gives me varieties like cinnamon and strawberry. If I am buying name brand, I usually opt for GoGo Squeez since they have more flavor varieties as well as the ones that incorporate veggies. Apple/Pineapple/Passion Fruit and Apple/Mango/Guava are the faves on the fruit side and I think it's the berry ones that incorporate spinach or carrots and zucchini that we see more often here.

I do buy them but often times you cannot get decent looking pears So sometimes you like to get something that has pear flavor etc - Expand out and try something new It’s not for everyone but some people do like to do these things ymmv But I do see your point I also see the other side of it

 

[AppleDumpling]

I generally don’t eat applesauce by itself, unless I’m sick (BRAT diet). Sometimes have it as a condiment with pork/ham, or as someone said above, potato pancakes. I’ll buy the regular or cinnamon.

 

[fla4fun]

I don’t like applesauce, or apples much really. About the only apple related thing I will eat are apple fritters, provided they aren’t heavy on the apples. It’s partly a texture thing and partly a flavor thing.
