Simple Truth Organic Cinnamon Applesauce — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Simple Truth Organic Cinnamon Applesauce by Simply Truth TREAT — score 45/90.

Real organic apples and cinnamon, but with added organic sugar piled on top of fruit that's already plenty sweet. Simple and clean, just sweeter than it needs to be.

• Added organic sugar is the #2 ingredient, on top of the apples' natural sugars
• Sugar is the only real knock — everything else is clean
• Real organic apples and cinnamon, no artificial additives
• Simple 5-item list, not a lab formula — indulgence, not engineering
