Absolutely — applesauce is a secret weapon in baking! It adds moisture, subtle sweetness, and can even lighten up recipes by replacing oil, butter, or eggs (depending on your goal). When used in bread, it creates a soft, tender crumb without making it too dense.
🍞 Why Applesauce Works So Well in Bread:
-
Moisture booster – Keeps bread soft and fresh longer.
-
Natural sweetness – Lets you cut back on added sugar.
-
Fat replacer – Swaps in for oil or butter to make it lighter.
-
Egg substitute – In vegan baking, 1/4 cup applesauce can replace 1 egg.
