things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of applesauce?
  Around 16 g for stirred applesauce. Unsweetened versions weigh almost the same as sweetened — added sugar barely shifts density. If you're thinning a salad dressing or marinade with 1-2 tablespoons, the variance between brands is small enough that volume measurement is fine.
• Can a tablespoon of applesauce replace a tablespoon of butter?
  In pancakes, muffins, and quick breads, yes — 1 tablespoon applesauce (16 g) takes the place of 1 tablespoon butter (~14 g) with a small moisture bump. You lose the browning and richness butter contributes, so it works best in spiced or fruit-forward batters where butter flavor isn't the point.
• Is a tablespoon enough applesauce to replace half an egg?
  Not quite. The common ratio for egg replacement is 3 tablespoons (about 48 g) per whole egg, or roughly 1.5 tablespoons per half egg. One tablespoon alone (16 g) won't carry the binding load — use it as a moisture booster rather than a structural egg substitute.
