i used to have an apple tree in my garden and i made lots of apple sauce. for best results you do need to add some sugar (although this depends a lot on the apples) and lemon. although i can well imagine companies put far too much sugar in. in brasil there is far too much sugar or salt, in everything, it's kind of frustrating.

I don't know man... apples are fruits. They're pretty sweet as is. Judging from this no sugar added apple sauce, sugar really isn't needed.

This is the stuff I don't get. Why do these companies just throw sugar (or corn syrup) in everything like this? They're paying extra money to buy this sugar so why add it? Stuff tastes just as good without it.
