Instructions: * Simply substitute the same amount of applesauce as the recipe calls for butter. In other words, if the recipe calls for one stick of butter (1/2 cup)

substitute 1/2 cup of applesauce.

* Some recipes are better if you just substitute half of the butter with applesauce.

* Other fruit purees such as that made of prunes also work. You can buy fruit purees for just such a purpose, although they are rarely made of pure fruit.

* When substituting thick fruit purees, such as those made with prunes, replace one stick of butter with 1/3 cup of puree.
