Add Apple Sauce to your Favorite Breakfast Foods!

Our organic apple sauce is an excellent ingredient for many breakfast recipes. It adds a delicious apple essence to your dishes, elevating their taste and flavor. Enrich your breakfast with fiber, natural sugars, and nutrients.

Some top apple sauce uses to try out in your next breakfast recipe include:

Apple Sauce Doughnuts

Apple Strawberry Muffins

Golden brown, gluten-free muffins are the perfect healthy breakfast if you are on the go. Adding apple sauce and fresh strawberries to this mix will add further nutrients in a bite-size package.

Apple Pie Spiced Pancakes

Pancakes are another excellent breakfast recipe with apple sauce. Give your normal batch a fall makeover by using apple pie spice in the dry mix. These are topped with a warm, cinnamon apple topping that is sure to make any weekend special. Other optional toppings include sliced nuts and maple syrup or honey – though you won’t need it with our naturally sweet apples!

Baked Goods

Our favorite baking recipes with apple sauce include:

Carrot Cake

Apple sauce is an excellent addition to carrot cake recipes because it will add moisture to the batter. This increased moisture will make for a deliciously moist cake when baked. With classic cream cheese frosting, you will have a crowd favorite – minus some of the added fat and calories.

Black Bean Brownies

Brownies are another treat you can prepare with apple sauce. Our recipe takes it a step further with the addition of black beans. But don’t worry – you won’t taste them! Black beans help add a great source of protein and fiber while still letting you give in to your chocolate indulgence.

Cinnamon Apple Sauce Cookies

Cut down on the calories in your normal batch of cookies by incorporating apple sauce into the recipe. Take a shortcut and use cinnamon apple sauce right out of the jar for sweetness and flavor.

Dressings for Salads

Apple sauce is a fantastic dressing for your favorite salads. Our apple sauce will not only improve the taste and texture of your salad. It also provides your salad with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Although you can use apple sauce as is, it tastes better when combined with other ingredients. In whatever dressing you make at home normally, swap out the sugar or honey for North Coast Apple Sauce.

Strawberry Marinade Blend fresh strawberries, honey, apple cider vinegar, and apple sauce to make a smooth dressing. The resultant dressing pairs well with fresh veggies, salads, and meat.
