TIP: Maybe some of you noticed that a lot of my baking contains applesauce. This is because, in my head, I can not justify using 1/2 C or however much oil in my baked goods. A little bit of oil is great, it holds the moisture for longer and keeps them fresh.... but all oil? Can't do it. Whenever a recipe calls for a lot of oil, I substitute with the same amount of unsweetened applesauce plus a little bit of vegetable oil (usually 1 Tbsp.) However, if you are mailing baked items to someone or are making a gift basket.... use all oil, it will keep things fresher for much longer!
