Applesauce is cooked apple pulp blended into a smooth puree, sometimes sweetened or spiced with cinnamon. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 250 grams or 8.82 ounces. In baking, unsweetened applesauce works as a fat replacer in muffins and quick breads, and as an egg substitute (1/4 cup per egg) for moisture-driven recipes.

Recipes often list applesauce in cups or tablespoons, but jars come labelled in grams or ounces. Converting between the two helps you swap it cleanly for eggs or oil without throwing the recipe off.

Related to Applesauce

Mashed Banana

Mashed banana swaps 1:1 by volume for applesauce as an egg or fat replacer, holding moisture the same way. It is lighter per cup (230 g vs 250 g) and adds banana flavour and a little sweetness, giving a softer, more tender crumb. Use it where banana taste fits the bake. See our Mashed Banana converter.

Pumpkin Puree

Pumpkin puree swaps 1:1 for applesauce and shares its weight (250 g per cup), holding moisture in muffins and quick breads. It brings a mild, earthy squash flavour and a deeper colour, so it suits spiced autumn bakes more than light, neutral ones. See our Pumpkin Puree converter.
