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.
