Unsweetened Organic Apple Sauce

$2.69

Vegan baked goods, particularly cakes and muffins, often get a bad reputation for being dry and crumbly. One way to fix this is by adding a little unsweetened apple sauce to the batter before baking. This helps keep the crumb moist while baking. Apple sauce can also be used in place of oil if you’re trying to cut back on fat. 


I wouldn’t recommend leaving out the oil completely, but the applesauce will help keep your baked goods from drying out. Again, I always use unsweetened ingredients in order to have full control over the sweetness of my baked goods. As apple sauce does already contain some natural sugar, keep that in mind as you use it in your baking.
