In the fridge, your homemade applesauce is good for about 7 to 10 days. Yes, that’s it. That’s the magic window.
Why so short? Because you didn’t add a ton of preservatives like the store-bought stuff. It’s pure, innocent apple magic. And pure things spoil faster.
The Sniff Test is Your Friend
Don’t just trust the calendar. Trust your nose. If it smells like a happy apple orchard, you’re golden.
If it smells like a sad, moldy sock? Run. Toss it immediately. No second chances.
