Measuring applesauce by cup and by weight
Applesauce weighs about 255 g per cup, heavier than water because of its sugars and fiber. It is a popular swap for part of the oil or butter in muffins, replacing it 1:1 by volume to cut fat. Sweetened and unsweetened versions weigh about the same, but sweetened adds sugar to the recipe, so cut back on sugar a little.
