Notes
1) I recommend lightly straining the applesauce to remove some of the extra water. You can do this in a colander, or with a cheesecloth. Just lightly strain it to remove some of the obvious extra juice — don’t totally squeeze it dry!
2) I bought the mini glass dishes for this from Pier One, although they are now widely available at many stores including Target, TJ Maxx, World Market and beyond.
