OMG!! This is sooooo good! I was nervous about some of the other reviews, so only used a little over half of the brown sugar. It is amazing BBQ sauce! I cannot wait to make it again with another meat. I poured it over meatballs and baked. Thanks for this recipe!

Good idea, but needs a little tweaking to take it from good to great. Here's what I did: add a couple drops of liquid smoke and half the sugar (and it was still way too sweet). Could replace some of the brown sugar with honey to add a little depth. After I doctored it, hubby and one of the three kids liked it. If I add honey and do only 1/4 c. brown sugar, I think the other two will like it, too. Thank you for the applesauce idea!

I just tried this on chicken and it was pretty good. I did read some of the reviews and followed the advice to cut back on the sugar and use unsweetened applesauce. I was impressed enough to pass this around to some friends and I will probably use this recipe with my ribs later on.

I made some tofu nuggets that I baked up like chicken- let me just say this is phenomenal!!! I'm trying to keep away from eating it by the spoonful:) Like others I reduced the brown sugar by half and it's still very sweet.

This recipe was great! We like a little bit more kick so we added Cayenne Pepper. The apple sauce was a very nice base for the sauce!!

Great recipe - with some changes. I used 1/2 cup of brown sugar due to all the reviews that said it was too sweet (but I think it could handle more - but no more than 1 cup), plain unsweetened applesauce, left out the cinnamon and added about 1/4 tsp dried onion flakes. Really good recipe!!

I happen to have a sweet tooth and I think that this is a great bbq sauce especially on a warm sunny afternoon, with a nice cold beer, some close friends, and of course, some football!

I loved this sauce, but of course changed it a little. I added more garlic powder, threw in some crushed red pepper, and some dry mustard. Had a nice sweet taste up front with some heat in the back. Put this on some ribs I smoked. I think Pork and Apples are a perfect match.

I followed the recipe as written, very easy to make. I used it with chicken and it was good. You can definitely taste the applesauce. I plan on making it again but using it in the crockpot with boneless porkchops and sliced apples, I think it will be even better with pork.

A little on the sweet side for me. I added more tomato paste and ketchup to balance it out.

This sauce was too sweet for my taste. It tasted more like a duck/sweet & sour sauce. The texture of the sauce was a bit too "granular or gritty". This was due to the texture of the applesauce used in it. Changing to a smoother applesauce would remedy that.

I also halved the sugar and still it was just too sweet for us. I even put a little bit of liquid smoke in it and just couldn't get it to taste the way we wanted. Probably just not the recipe for us.

We really liked this sauce. It is sweet, and if you like sweet barbeque sauces chances are this one will be a hit. The only change I made was to decrease the sugar by half. Since I used a sweetened applesauce this worked well.

I took other reviewers' advice and halved the sugar too. I thought this had a nice tangy zip to it, and it was really easy to make, but I don't think it had distinctive enough a taste for me to make it regularly. Thanks, though!

Sorry to rate it so low, but it was much too sweet. I took the advice of others and reduced the amount of sugar to 1 cup and I still couldn't eat it. It's more like a sweet and sour/duck sauce than the barbeque sauce I am used to.

This tastes just as good as the famous apple bbq sauce served at Montana's restaraunt, and so easy to make. I spread it over chicken and bake in the oven, brushing more on every 15 minutes or so to get a nice thick coating as it bakes on. My family loves it.
