A Healthy Snack Alternative: Musselman's Applesauce

Musselman is a company that sells a large variety of healthy apple products, including applesauces, apple juice, apple butter, and canned sliced apples. All of their products are made from fresh, seasonal apples. They also sell a few specialty products such as different types of pie fillings and vinegars.

How Does Musselman's Applesauce Taste?

I received a variety of different Musselman's applesauce products to try. I liked that all of thm tasted natural and not overly sweetened. My favorite flavor to eat plain was the Healthy Picks Blueberry Pomegranate Applesauce. The mixture of fruit flavors was great, and the blueberry and pomegranate did not overwhelm the taste of apple. I also liked the plain applesauce for using in baking. I used some Musselman's applesauce instead of oil or butter in a cake, and it turned out incredibly moist and delicious.

Buying Musselman's

Musselman's apple products are available online at http://musselmans.com/Products.aspx (click the "My Brands" link at the bottom) and in many stores throughout the country. There is a store locator at the Musselman website that tells you the closest stores where you can buy your preferred Musselman product. The prices are pretty much what you would expect for these products. Online, a 28 oz jar of apple butter sells for $3.99 and 48 oz jug of cinnamon applesauce sells for $4.39.

The Verdict On Musselman's

I recommend Musselman as a healthy snack alternative. The single serving containers make a great after-school or anytime snack for a kid, and a healthy option for on-the-go adults. The larger jars of applesauce are great too. You can serve the applesauce as a side dish during dinner, or use it as a healthier alternative to oils in baking. I am sure there are more ways to use Musselman's applesauce, and I intend to keep experimenting with it.
