Re: Apple Sauce in Baked Goods

[Kelly Bauman <bauman@xxxxxxxx>]

I have done a great deal of experimenting using apple sauce, prune puree, 
butter buds and finally settled on a mix of butter buds and fat free mayo 
for cakes and cookies.  I didn't like the results with the fruit purees 
because of the taste they imparted.  Whatever substitute you use you 
inevitably won't get the same texture as you get using any fat but the 
taste can be very good.

My 2 cents worth.
