• I have been reading that baking with applesauce is much more healthier than baking with olive oil.
• Replacing 1 cup of olive oil with 1 cup of applesauce you can skip 105 extra calories.

• Applesauce can be used in place of butter. It is the best replacement on fats.
• Oil substitute for butter, applesauce substitution should be done in the 1:1 ratio. It means, if the recipe that you are preparing calls for a cup of butter, then you should use ½ cup of butter + ½ cup of applesauce. You can also try variations in when you substitute applesauce for butter in cake and brownies. For instance, try using ¼ cup of butter + ¾ cup of applesauce and check how that recipe turns out.
• If you are substituting applesauce in place of butter in cookies, then you may have to think twice, since it affects the crisp texture of cookies. They also claim that applesauce makes the cookies to appear soft, like brownies and cakes.
