Applesauce works well in denser baked goods that require a lot of moisture (and not a lot of rise). It pairs well with warming spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg etc.), maple syrup, caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and nuts.
Make sure to use unsweetened applesauce to avoid adding extra sugar. And remember: most of the nutrients are in the apple peel, so making your own applesauce with the skins on will help you retain those beneficial properties!
How to Use:
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce = 1 egg
Best in: loaf cakes, muffins, denser cakes (think: carrot cake)
