Applesauce can be substituted for oil or butter in most recipes. In cake recipes you can substitute equal amounts-for example 1/2 cup applesauce can be substituted for 1/2 cup of oil. For cookie recipes you may only be able to use applesauce for half of the required fat. Experiment with your favorite recipe!
