Applesauce

Applesauce is a great substitute for oil and butter in certain recipes.  I have found it works well in things that are cake-like in nature. So cakes and brownies.  Try it and save some fat.  Make sure you use naturally unsweetened applesauce.  If the recipe calls for 1/2 cup oil or butter, then use 1/2 cup of applesauce.  My family hasn't noticed a difference.
