Latke topping option

Applesauce is a sweet puree of cooked apples, often served as a side dish or snack.

The spelling with a hyphen is less common than the solid form.

As an exclamation, applesauce is dated slang meaning nonsense or rubbish, popular in 1920s American speech: Oh, applesauce! That's not what happened at all.
