- Mott’s Applesauce Snack and Go Pouches (any flavor)
Directions
- I line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
- I remove the lid from an applesauce pouch and gently squeeze bite-sized drops of applesauce onto the wax paper.
- For flavor combos, I hold two different pouches at once and squeeze them together.
- Once the tray is full, I place it in the freezer for a few hours until the bites are completely frozen.
- After freezing, I quickly remove the bites from the wax paper and store them in a freezer bag or container for easy access.
Servings and timing
This snack makes about 2–3 servings per applesauce pouch, depending on how many bites I make. Prep takes about 5 minutes, and freezing takes 2–3 hours.
Variations
I like to mix different applesauce pouch flavors like strawberry, mango peach, or mixed berry. Occasionally, I also add a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey before freezing for a slight flavor enhancement.
storage/reheating
I store the frozen applesauce bites in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 1 month. There’s no need to reheat—I serve them straight from the freezer for a cool treat.
