Yeah, was Indian style as a kid in the early '90s. Little kids need some mnemonic device to literally just not fly off the face of the earth, and so that was the replacement they came up with. Cross-legged just doesn't grab a kid's attention like mashed apples.

My teacher had a whole other verse. /Criss-crossed applesauce /Quiet as a mouse

Where does sauce rhyme with mouse?

You're missing the rest of the rhyme.

OK kids, come over and sit criss cross applesauce, quiet as a mouse. Do as I say, or I'll come to your house. That's where I might just talk to your mother, and see if we should replace you with another.
