My children love applesauce. It is one of the few convenience foods I still purchase for my family. Combining coupons and sales I can usually buy applesauce for cheaper than I could make it myself. I even buy the individual containers for traveling and field trips a special treat for my kids, plus it is much better for them than a cupcake or gummy snack.
I also use applesauce as a substitute for oil in most of my recipes. It doesn’t affect the taste at all, and your baked goods turn out so moist when you use apple sauce instead of oil. My banana muffins are made with applesauce, and I usually substitute apple sauce for oil in cakes too.

I love applesauce! I’ve also used it occasionally to substitute for oil in baked goods. All I remember is a sad little batch of brownies made from a mix and the egg, applesauce and whatever else the package said. Not a great texture, but an okay end product.
I have heard of baking with applesauce but have not tried it yet..
Thank you! We like applesauce too. We’ll be having it with latkes for Hanukkah.
my son won’t eat applesauce since it is “baby” food, but I too use it when baking. It makes a great substitute for butter as well and has helped a lot in our dairy and soy free cooking.
What a great gift that would make! We love applesauce here too and I don’t use it enough in baking.
We love applesauce also. Definitely great snack for the kids. We’d love to win the gift pack! I will have to try using applesauce instead of oil next time I bake.
Ooo! We love applesauce, too!
hmm, might have to try substituting applesauce for oil.
I love applesauce!!! I do have a question…when you use applesauce in recipes instead of oil what is the exchange rate? Is it cup for cup…or do you need less applesauce?? THANKS!
Yum! I love applesauce in baking.
Oh, can you SO count me in for this!! Applesauce (homemade and store-bought) are a BIG hit around here!
Applesauce is my oldest sons favorite thing to eat. He goes through a large jar a week by himself.

I use applesauce instead of oil in my baked oatmeal. I wish Happy would try it some day…
My son loves applesauce and could eat it every day – and usually does. I would like to try cooking with it so I think I am going to look for some recipes. I heard that it makes baked goods more moist?!
Awesome, maybe I’ll win
Big applesauce fan! Love it to eat or in my baking. In fact, I was supposed to pick up some at the store and forget. I could definitely use this give away.
LOVE using applesauce instead of oil…I use it in pancakes and waffles too.

Thanks for the giveaway. My 2 year old likes the cinnamon applesauce but it makes her mouth and cheeks all red…it’s cute. She just licks and licks her lips, you’d have to watch her.

We love applesauce too! It’s a quick & easy side for dinner on lazy days around here.
We love applesauce here! Funny story though – the first time we were giving applesauce to our second child I opened a new jar and he made awful faces. I kept feeding it too him, and he kept making nasty faces. Finally, I said, “Look, Mommy likes it!” and took a bite. It was BAD. Poor kid! No wonder he was making faces!
I have used applesauce in my baking for years and years… gotta get away from that oil!! Applesauce vs. oil…. you choose.
We love applesauce, we use in all our baking(brownies, cakes). My daughter(3) always reminds me to buy it when we are out.
I love applesauce with cinnamon!!
In winter, I love to add a bit of cinnamon to some applesauce and heat it up… makes for a yummy side/dessert after dinner.
Thanks for the giveaway!
We love applesauce!
We love applesauce too. Although I’ve never tried using it for baking. I will have to give that a try. Do you use it in your regular bread too? How about in place of butter, or just oil? I usually just use butter instead of oil, but I don’t know if that’s an equal substitute.
I haven’t tried substituting applesauce for oil–I’m a little nervous. But you certainly seem confident that everything still comes out tasting great. I’ll have to give it a try.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Please sign me up!
we love applesauce at our house too!!! and i find the same thing…i can get it cheaper with sales and coupons than by making it myself
My son loves applesauce!
Applesauce rocks!
Thanks for the reminder about using appleasauce in recipes, I nearly forgot! I used to do that all of the time. I would love to win, I know my son just love applesauce with a little bit of cinnamon in it : )
I pack applesauce in my husband’s lunch everyday. This would be great!
I’d love to win. I bake alot with applesauce and my boys like to have it as a side too.
