For a deeper flavor, try adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice after cooking. If you prefer a sweeter applesauce, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey after cooking and blending. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. Experiment with different spice combinations, such as adding a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom.
