Applesauce
Many recipes call for butter or other fat sources to add moisture to baked goods. Applesauce is an excellent alternative to add moisture and hold your ingredients together without adding extra fat. Apples are also high in fiber and pectin, two ingredients that help you feel full and satisfied between meals, making them an excellent snack.
