The introductory sentence, "Apple sauce or applesauce is a sauce made of apples." Really... no citation? This string of words should be banished to the Wikipedia hazmat landfill. Is applesauce a sauce made from apples? Is is not actually a relish or dessert as Merrian-Webster defines it? Moreover, what about its other hellish name? Merriam-Webster cites only the word applesauce, not the base adulteration apple sauce. Do not even dare google recipes for this delicious and healthy culinary staple. Someone could write their PhD thesis on the overwhelming ratio of proper spelling hits verses the number with the incorrectly separated descriptor.
These issues provide even more evidence that there may very well be an apple sauce conspiracy. Maybe Mott's can explain this apple product inconstancy?

I removed this sentence from the article:
In the United Kingdom and the United States, (and possibly elsewhere) apple sauce is traditionally served with pork.
Having grown up in the US, I've never once seen applesauce served with pork, nor with any other kind of meat, nor have I ever heard of any "tradition" of serving it with pork or any other kind of meat. My take on British culinary delights makes me believe that it's possible that people in England might find such a mixture appetizing, but the addition of the US and the "(and possibly elsewhere)" in this sentence is speculative nonsense.

OK. Let's get this straight. Has no one heard the cliche "pork chops and applesauce" from "The Brady Bunch"...of course pork chops and applesauce go together.
"It is easily produced at home, and commercial versions are readily available in the supermarket as a common food or as a snack for children."
Who decides that a food is "for children"? A given food or means of serving it may be more popular among children, but it makes little or no sense to me to claim objectively that a given foodstuff is for children.
"Unsweetened applesauce is a good food for babies."
Good at what? Good in whose opinion?

I know the link advocates it, but only a fool with diarrhoea would look for help to a bowl of apple sauce. You may as well neck a bottle of fish oil. We should be careful about putting crackpot alternative therapies on Wikipedia. Some poor devil could be stuck in the bog for weeks, guzzling down platefuls of laxative.

I believe that we ought to source this alleged apple sauce controversy. --71.181.32.71 (talk) 02:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Who/Where did applesauce originate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.140.227 (talk) 21:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
According to the article apple sauce is made from "cooked or baked" apples. Isn't baking a method of cooking, making the apparent "cooked or baked" distinction irrelevant? Tonywalton Talk 23:31, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
In my opinion Apple Butter is only slightly similar to Apple Sauce, having about the same relation to it that butter has to cheese.Saxophobia (talk) 01:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I never saw such an apple sauce with coarsely cut apples in Germany. The dish in the picture would be called a Compote instead. German apple sauce ('Apfelmus') looks just like the one in the left picture.--95.208.250.18 (talk) 13:14, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
Finnish is a dying language.
Please, somebody, make a page for applesauce in Finnish. I live in California, but my neighbor is from Finland. She loves applesauce, but she doesn't speak English.
Please do your part. Thank you. Phoebe Mertens! (talk) 02:54, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Where does applesauce originate? Who created it? Is it found in lists of common foods from medieval Europe? Or the Renaissance?
It seems a simple enough food, once the concept of preserving food in jars or sealed metal canisters exists--peeled, cored, and sliced or chopped apples, cooked thoroughly by steaming or boiling and mashed through a strainer, poured into sterile containers, and sealed. But who created applesauce, and where?
For whatever it's worth, this source:
http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodfaq.html#applesauce
claims that the dish is of English origin, and that the word "applesause" first appeared in an English-language dictionary in 1739, but that references to dishes of cooked mashed apples go back at least to the 14th Century, if not further.
I leave it to the judgment of others whether this is an appropriate source and whether this information belongs in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:400:8000:7625:741E:9372:1389:DDD8 (talk) 01:57, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
