How to Choose the Best Apple for Your Kratom Applesauce
If you want a sugar-free applesauce, Gala, Golden Delicious or Fuji are the most recommendable options. If you intend to add sugar or any other sweetener to your applesauce, McIntosh apples are a great choice. Other apple varieties you can use for your applesauce are Paula Red, Crispin, Gravenstein, Jonathan or Jonamac.
Honeycrisp apples, though sweet enough for applesauce, are too crispy (and they are not cheap either). Pink Lady and Granny apples are too firm for the recipe and they also have a slightly tart taste that is not the most appropriate for making applesauce. Red Delicious is not very tasty, so we don’t recommend it either.

- Your kratom dose
- 2 apples (you can use different types)
