Add the unsweetened applesauce, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup of high-fiber cereal. Blitz everything together until smooth, or to your desired consistency.

4. Serve and Store: Serve the sauce warm or chilled. You can eat this sauce right off a spoon or use it as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or as a spread on toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
