There was a stretch of time when my kids only wanted applesauce. Like, three meals a day plus snacks. We'd make a beautiful roasted chicken, baked potatoes, and a salad … and they’d ask, “Can I just have applesauce?” At one point, I started buying it by the case.
This article is sponsored by Musselman’s — because kids + applesauce = happiness.
That phase eventually passed (they’ve moved on to more complex cuisine like chicken tenders and plain noodles😂), but applesauce has never really left our lives. These days, Musselman’s Apple Sauce is the ultimate grab-and-go solution for parents juggling practices, games, and busy family life. It’s the quick snack I grab when we’re running out the door, which, as a mom of two busy kids, feels like... always.
Sports snacks, solved
If your days, like mine, are spent carting kids to practices, games, or performances, you know the chaos. One kid forgets their cleats, someone else can’t find their water bottle, and everyone’s always hungry.
That’s why I keep applesauce pouches and cups stashed in every possible place: sports bags, backpacks, glove compartments, the bottom of my purse ... you get the idea. Musselman’s Apple Sauce is mess-free, super easy to grab, and no one ever turns me down. I’m convinced they’re the one snack all kids still agree on.
They're great:
- Before practice when they need something but can’t eat a full meal
- In school lunches because it's a familiar favorite
- After school when they’re doing a quick change in the car
- Post-game when you're in charge of the team snack
Bonus: They don’t melt, crumble, or explode in the heat. IYKYK.

A simple snack you can feel good about
I think what I love most is that Musselman’s Apple Sauce is a classic, familiar flavor that kids love, and that hasn't changed since I was a kid myself. It’s simple, familiar, and more convenient than ever. We’ve moved up from the big glass jars of my childhood to grab-and-go single-serving pouches and cups that just make life easier.
No fancy packaging tricks. No ingredients I can’t pronounce. Just wholesome goodness my kids will always eat, whether they’re three or thirteen.

Now, if only they made something that could clean cleats too.
