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.

I can't believe this recipe has 5 stars! It is WAY WAY too sweet, and I cut down on the amount of sugar used. None of my family liked the taste. Definitely would not recommend or make again. Needs some major tweaking to be acceptable.

I used a little more than half the sugar and I thought the sauce was delicious! I will use it again.

Excellent! I am rather picky about my barbeque sauce. Most bottled varieties do not agree with my stomach, so I usually avoid barbeque sauce altogether. However tonight I was looking for something different to make for dinner, and found this recipe. I made 1/2 batch of it and used it on boneless pork chops. Amazing! I changed a few things as per other reviewers' suggestions. For 1/2 batch I: cut the sugar in half, using only a scant 1/2 cup; added 1/2 teaspoon of dried onion flakes; and added 1/4 teaspoon of Frank's Red Hot Sauce, for heat. All of the other ingredients I left the same, in the proportions as stated (for 1/2 batch). Next time I think I will cut the sugar even more, probably use 1/3 cup. And I will add more Frank's Hot Sauce because my husband and I like our sauce to have a bit more of a kick. Overall, this recipe is great, and the texture from the applesauce is wonderful. I noticed right away that it does not have that "chemically" taste that bottled sauces have. Very fresh, tangy, and tasty--this will definitely become my standard barbeque sauce recipe!

This dish was a hit with my picky 7 year old son, who hates chicken on the bone. He really liked this recipe and declared he would eat it again if i made it for him! That's a 5 in my book!!
