I heard that you can substitute applesauce for shortening when baking and I plan on baking banana bread and want to know if that is so and how much to use per loaf
Applesauce can be used instead of most of the shortening, but eliminating the fat altogether may result in a dry loaf.
I suggest you replace about 3/4 of the amount of shortening with applesauce, and use the other 1/4 of shortening (remember to reduce the sugar if it is sweetened applesauce).
I dont think you can use that. I never used applesauce when I make that. Who knows? try looking in a cookbook.
