20 minThis retro microwave sauce brings unexpected sweetness from applesauce while keeping that classic tangy kick.
Onions soften in butter before everything bubbles together into a glossy glaze.
Brush it on ribs, chicken, or meatloaf for a fruity twist on barbecue night.
Kitchen Tips
- Use unsweetened applesauce for better control over final sweetness
- Stir halfway through cooking to prevent hot spots
- This sauce thickens as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems thin
- Double the batch and store extras in the fridge for up to a week
