Auntie Applesauce

Auntie Applesauce is an elderly Earth pony and a member of the Apple family who first appears in the episode Apple Family Reunion. She is the great-great-aunt of Applejack and her siblings and Granny Smith's aunt.

Season three
Auntie Applesauce first appears in the season three episode Apple Family Reunion. Granny Smith first mentions her at the beginning of the episode when she shows Applejack and Apple Bloom a photo album of past reunions. According to Granny, Applesauce "used to go by another name, but everypony started calling her Applesauce after half her teeth fell out when she was making apple jam." In one flashback, she laughs at a young Granny when she tries to take up quilting. In another, she and "Candy Twirl" compete together in a seven-legged race.

At the present day reunion, Auntie Applesauce appears with a new set of dentures, but she doesn't reveal how long she has owned them. She also chews out Granny Smith and Apple Rose for using her parasol to break a piñata six reunions ago. During the reunion, she quilts—for a lengthy period of time—with Granny and Apple Rose using sewing machines provided by Applejack.

Later in the episode, Auntie Applesauce rides in the Apple family hayride. During the ride, her dentures fly out of her mouth and onto Big McIntosh's nose, and the apples in her sun hat draws a swarm of fruit bats. When the disastrous hayride results in the destruction of Sweet Apple Acres' barn, Auntie Applesauce takes part in the barn's reconstruction during the song Raise This Barn.

She appears in the family group photo in front of the finished barn, and she is last seen laughing with Granny Smith and Apple Rose.

Season four
In the season four episode Pinkie Apple Pie, Auntie Applesauce is stated to be a possible fourth cousin twice removed of the Pie family, but Twilight Sparkle and Goldie Delicious' genealogical records are too smudged to confirm this. Applesauce also appears in a photograph in Goldie Delicious' cabin at the end of the episode.

In the game, she is named "Aunt Applesauce," and her in-game description states, "Aunt Applesauce is one a-peeling pony who never crumbles or does anything half-baked (though she does con-seed that she likes a sleep-in before the weekend gala)!"

Merchandise
