Replacing a 1/2 cup of oil with applesauce will reduce the calories significantly. Has anyone tried it? Is it good?

Yes, I’ve been doing this for decades. Anytime baking asks for oil or butter, I use unsweetened applesauce. Same amount as asked for.
Pro tip: Don’t tell people while they’re eating it. They’ll love the food and wouldn’t know but the second you tell them it’s lower cal they’ll be like “oooh yeah it does taste different”. Naw, they don’t need to know. Banana bread, cake, etc. It’s such a great hack!
