Ingredients for Baked Applesauce

  • 2 cups applesauce
  • Bisquick Baking Mix
  • Sugar
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to Make Baked Applesauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a square (8x8 inch) baking dish, pour 2 cups of applesauce.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  4. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the applesauce.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the applesauce is bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
