I would gladly and happily explain what is the active ingredient in that magic applesauce, if only Discord hadn't legally patented the stuff by international law and made the recipe to the sauce fiercely-defended intellectual-property as a result (Princess Luna apparently likes the stuff too - she also guzzles it by the pint - she defends the recipe fiercely so she can maintain her constant supply) - I also helped Discord create this stuff, by the way. Me and him go way back, since we both casually do interdimensional-travel on-the-fly (albeit he does his travelling via magic, I do my travel via science by way of an interdimensional portal-gun I built myself).
But just so you don't (completely) lose your horsepower, I will let you know this - the secret ingredient is not native to your dimension (your dimension is labeled as MLP-FIM-01 in the logs for obvious reasons); it's actually native to the Human-dominated reality where I come from (The "Prime Dimension", to be exact). That's as far as I will elaborate on it, though.
Till next time!
