Hello, Can anyone give me some advice re: adapting a fav recipe for Applesauce loaf. The recipe calls for 1 cup of marg. - Do you think that I could cut that in half and just add extra applesauce to make up the one cup of fat or do you just cut the fat down to 1/2 and add in nothing else? Thanks. It is a family favourite around the holiday season. Debbie IBS-A

I'd cut the fat in half and use applesauce to make up the difference. Definitely do a test run, though, before you serve to your boss or your in-laws. 
And if it turns out, please post the recipe.

Is the recipe for just one loaf or two? 1/2 cup margarine is still probably going to be fairly high in fat if it's for just one loaf -- especially if you have any additional ingredients that contain fat, i.e. nuts. Also, if there are any eggs in it, remember to sub egg whites or Eggbeaters.

Just one loaf so 1/2 cup may still be hight, yes. NO nuts, just raisins. Thanks, Debbie IBS-A
