Does anyone have the conversions to use applesauce instead of sugar to make sweets less fattening?

Applesauce replaces the oil that goes in the dough. Applesauce adds moisture that the oil was meant to add. They say no sugar is needed afterward, but this is much less sweet, IMO. It's an acquired taste, and let's face it, how much pastry would you have to eat before you lost wieght?
Splenda, BTW, is created when poisonous chlorine is passed through sugar, creating the infamously toxic dioxin, which collects in your organs. There are wierd stories for every artificial thing, not that you'll ever notice the difference.

No. You sub the applesauce for the liquid oil in a cake recipe. Use Splenda instead of sugar.

Listen to -- . He knows what the deal is. And another thing about sugar substitutes; aside from their basically toxic, cumulative nature they don't satisfy your body's inate need for sugar, so you'll crave other things with sugar till your body is satisfied. In other words, sugar substitutes will actually cause you to gain weight...before they make you sick and kill you.
