applesauce wont work as a substitute for butter in some recipes (e.g. biscuits, some cakes). However, I have found that Logicol, which has like 1/4 the calories of butter, does a reasonable job of my biscuits - the texture is a bit softer but I do like a soft cookie anyway! I'm not sure you can get Logicol outside of…
