Apple sauce

Apple sauce or applesauce is a purée made of apples. It can be made with peeled and/or unpeeled apples and a variety of spices (commonly cinnamon and allspice). Flavorings or sweeteners such as sugar or honey are also commonly added. Apple sauce is inexpensive and is widely used in the United Kingdom, North America and some European countries.

It has been suggested that it can substitute for fat (e.g. butter/oil) in baking.

Commercial versions of apple sauce are readily available in supermarkets. It may be packaged in several ways, including: glass jars, tins, or plastic tubs. It is also sold in serving-size small plastic cups.

Preparation

Apple sauce is made by cooking down apples with water or apple cider (fresh apple juice) to the desired level. More acidic apples will render a finer purée; the highly acidic Bramley apple is popular for creating a very fine purée. Apples might or might not be peeled; sugar, spices, or lemon juice might 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.

    Reception

    Critical response

    Ronnie Scheib of Variety praised Applesauce as "Onur Tukel's latest and most accomplished microbudget exercise in cynical absurdism" and added, "With its sarcastic dialogue, deadpan humor, believably flawed characters and surreal logic, 'Applesauce' may expand Tukel's growing indie fan base into niche release." Eric Kohn of Indiewire gave the film a modest "B" rating, calling it a "spot-on urban satire." He further wrote:

    Applesauce

    by: Animal Collective

    I eat a mango and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
    Star fruit so simple and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
    How could I feel so-so when I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
    Tart but not total and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
    When I was young I thought fruit was an infinite thing
    I'd be sad to wake up and find all of my cherry trees
    Are charred or they're rotted to ruin
    It seems we all can't last
    Oh Pink Lady your days so distinguished are a movement so fluid
    So smooth against my palm
    Reminisce of the days when they all praised your sweet Red Delicious
    And a farmer picks a good thing
    (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
    And a kid he picks a good thing
    (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
    And a chef she makes a good thing
    (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
    And a mayor eats a good thing
    (When you think you don't know you don't know you don't know)
    Ripe and whole we can move outside us [x4]
    Take for me take for me pictures of valleys with apples hung
    Dangling dangling they will be released every little piece does make a one
    Brown on the ground can you show me a way I can simplify
    Comfort me comfort me after the battles and sleepless nights
    I'm just a rush
    Rush to blow upon the fire
    You're just a rush
    Rush to blow open my mind
    [X2]

    How could I feel so-so when I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
    Tart but not total and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
    When I want fruit I can find it wherever I please
    What if I cracked my eyes and find dudes on the street
    Waiting in lines or scrounging for berries?
    I'm losing things so fast.
    One day maybe I'll have a cool kid with a granny but
    I don't have to pose for applesauce on clothes.
    Reminisce of the days when my mom made it all seem delicious.

    I'm just a rush
    Rush to blow upon the fire
    You're just a rush
    Rush to blow open my mind
    [X2]
    So why should I rush, rush to blow upon the fire
    Why do I rush, rush to blow upon the fire
    [X2]
    One the eagle
    Two the noble
    Three the lizard
    Four the soul
