### The Answer? Most People Don’t Expect It…

### Why It Works
Applesauce is often used as a healthy substitute for oil or butter in baked goods, but it also shines in savory recipes. It adds:
* Natural moisture without extra fat
* A gentle sweetness to balance rich or spicy flavors
* A smooth texture that helps with binding
And best of all? It’s an ingredient you probably already have in your pantry.
