Awsome BBQ sauce. The only thing I did was double the receipe and added liquid smoke. Added this to some pulled chicken. Family loved it. Thank you for sharing!

To me, this tasted exactly like cinnamon applesauce with a little bit or ketchup mixed in. I'm not sure if its the amount of applesauce or what, but I didn't particularly like the flavor or the texture. However, after quite a bit of tinkering to make it taste more like barbeque sauce, it tasted ok on pork chops.

4 stars because it was a great starting pt. Tried it as written, found it too sweet for my taste. Changed it a bit the next go-around to taste more like bbq sauce: used smoked paprika and increased the amount to 1 tsp, used 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1/2c water instead of ketchup, only used 5 tbsp of lemon juice, and added 1/2 ts chili powder. Simmered until sauce clinged to spoon. Still sweet, but with a smoky flavor as well. Loved the applesauce idea!! Cans very nicely.

I actually didn't make this recipe exactly because so many people had stated it was too sweet. I used unsweetened applesauce (homemade) and only 1 tablespoon ketchup because it is also sweet. I used canned diced tomatoes instead and put them in the food processor. Because we like some spice, I used the Aldi ones with green chiles. I then added the brown sugar to taste and used only about 1/4 cup. I haven't put it on my meatballs yet, but it tastes really good. I will be serving them as appetizer cocktail meatballs with this sauce on them in a crockpot.

I like the recipes. I didn't find it too sweet. Although, I made some adjustments. I used no-sugar added applesauce. My only issue is that I didn't make enough. I cut everything in half because I only had half a cup of applesauce on hand. I also added a little no-sugar added honey.

V. good and so easy to make. I did decrease the sugar down to my taste. I still gave it a five star, b/c you should try this with the alteration.

I make my own applesauce so I know which type of apples I use in it. Bought applesauce can't list the exact amount of each apple in the container, just the types of apples used. So even if the jar says unsweetened; the applesauce itself may be on the sweet side because of apples used. This recipe is sweet with 2 cups of brown sugar I agree but if made with applesauce made from just Granny Smith apples its not as sweet. So the biggest thing is taste test the applesauce and put in the amount of sugar you would use. Recipes are made to the owners taste and given to others as a basis for making it theirs. If you like it as is that is good but otherwise go to your taste buds. Good Recipe.
