Do your children eat a lot of applesauce?

What are their ages? How often do they eat it?

My boys are 4 and a half and 10 and they eat it every day(the single serving cups); they prefer this over apples themselves--sounds strange I know but if they like it and if they will eat it without a fight; who cares...right?

I had my MIL make a comment about how much they eat but I figure why should she care? Am I wrong in thinking this way?

Mine eat applesauce several times a week. Sometimes I send it for the snack at school. we buy all the varieties in individual packs. I found some pear applesauce last week and they loved it.

Yes, I buy the single serving cups too & my Son (5) loves them. He eats one almost every day. He also like the jello cups with fruit in them. The applesauce is also great if they have a hard time going #2. My son loves bananas too & my Mom thought is was terrible that I give him one before bed. She said "oh, the poor thing, that must just sit in his stomach all night". Meanwhile, he is a great sleeper. Whatever! LOL!

When my kids were toddlers I couldn't get it into them fast enough. They loved applesauce. I ended up getting the large jars of apple sauce and also made my own. My son still likes it but my daughter stopped liking it for a while. Now she likes it again. I buy the little snack size and they'll both have some as a snack or after school. They are both teens, 15 and 13.

Very rarely. They'd rather eat whole apples.

my girls love applesauce and ages 10, 7 and 8 and love to the small ones and take to lunch to school. but at home we use the big jar kind. I read that applesauce is high in fiber which is a good thing so I give to them several times a week in place of vegs.

My kids like applesauce. They prefer homemade but will eat the jarred or single serving cups. My 14 yo has autism and that's one of very few foods he will eat.
