Apple sauce combined with cinnamon should not be dangerous for diarrhea unless consumed in excess. Depending on how the apple sauce is made, the fiber or sugar content in excess can result in diarrhea and other gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach cramps and gas formation.

No, it is not dangerous. Unsweetened applesauce may be a good meal to include if recovering from diarrhea. The applesauce provides soluble fibre that helps absorb liquid in the intestines and cinnamon has an astringent effect that help tighten tissue and stop diarrhea.
