Simple and sweet
Why you can trust Real Homes
Some versions of applesauce have no added sugars, and others include additional fruits to offer a variety of flavors. As a good starting place, we think Mott's unsweetened applesauce is the best option in our collection. Each cup only contains three ingredients: apples, water, and vitamin C preservative. It’s the closest option to apples in their natural state. Plus, the individual cups fit nicely in the pantry, fridge, or lunch bags.
If you’re always on the go, or you need an option for your little ones, the GoGo squeeZ applesauce is an excellent alternative. You don’t need any utensils to eat it thanks to the built-in straw, and the cap is resealable. It’s hard to find fault in how convenient they make it to eat applesauce on the way to work, school, or grandma’s house.
