I read this somewhere, but am not sure what the ratio apple sauce to vegetable oil is. I thought about trying it out.

Yes. I substitute with applesauce in baking whenever it calls for oil. Even in boxed cakes. it comes out just as moist or even more so with the apple sauce. I have even used canned pumpkin if I don't have applesauce a round.

Yes! Use the same amount of applesauce as you would oil.
You can also substitute canned pumpkin or applesauce in bread recipes. I hardly ever use oil any more. Mostly I use pumpkin because it's not as sweet and gives a good texture. Recipes requiring sweet are usually sweet enough for us as it is.
