      This is probably sarcastic, but in case it’s not: Applesauce is a vegan substitute for eggs, not oil. There is no substitute for oil as many oils are already vegan. You can definitely substitute animal-based fats like butter and lard for others like coconut oil to make a recipe vegan.

      Supposedly, but I assume you have to be familiar with baking with applesauce, and not just read somewhere that apple sauce can replace “oil, butter, or eggs” and just shoot for the moon.

        Wait, really? I was joking, that seems like it would not do any of the things that something like oil or butter would do when baking something.

          As an egg replacement in cakes it works okayish. Roughly one or two tablespoons per egg, but it of course depends on what you’re trying to achieve.
