What if your applesauce taste like alcohol?

Applesauce should not taste like alcohol. If your applesauce has an alcoholic taste, it is likely due to the fermentation process. Fermentation is the process by which yeasts convert sugars into alcohol.

If your applesauce was made with fresh apples, it is possible that the apples were already fermenting before they were cooked. This can happen if the apples are bruised or damaged, or if they are stored in a warm environment.

If you used store-bought applesauce, it is possible that the applesauce was contaminated with yeast or bacteria during the manufacturing process. This can happen if the applesauce was not properly pasteurized, or if the packaging was damaged.

If your applesauce tastes like alcohol, it is important to discard it. Consuming fermented applesauce can cause illness.
