Apfelmusapple sauce
Apples cooked until they collapse, nothing more. Pale, mildly tart, fine or chunky depending on the variety.
It sits next to Kartoffelpuffer, the grated potato pancakes. It goes with rice pudding, and it sweetens sweet mustard instead of plain sugar.
In Mexikoin Mexico
Sold as puré de manzana in any supermarket, in jars or small cups.
Or cook it: peel the apples, chop them, simmer with a little water until soft, mash. Sugar only if the apples came out very sharp.
Vorsichtwatch out
The Mexican product usually carries a lot more sugar than the German one, and canela on top of that.
For potato pancakes that still passes. In sweet mustard the cinnamon shows up immediately, so look for unspiced sauce there or cook your own.
