In a saucepan over medium heat heat oil. Add onion to pan and saute until translucent. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. To pan add applesauce, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a low boil, stirring often. Remove from heat, and cool completely. Use to baste the meat of your choice.

Especially nice on chicken and pork.
