Cool Down

Uncover the dish and reduce the oven’s heat before continuing to warm the mixture in the oven. Cook for a further 35 to 45 minutes before removing and allowing the mixture to cool. Once at room temperature, you can refrigerate the applesauce, keeping it chilled for one week before eating.

Here are three other options that you might have lurking around your kitchen that you can use!

Aquafaba

This egg white substitute—made with the whipped solution resulting from soaking white beans in water—is arguably the best option out there. While it requires a bit of time to make, this substitute is great for any possible recipe use of egg whites.

Applesauce

If egg whites are used for moisture in a baking recipe, unsweetened applesauce can surprisingly be a great option to substitute them for! Don’t use too much of it, and try to get as smooth as an applesauce as you can, but this can work out great.

Mashed Banana

Mashed bananas can also be used for egg whites in a baking recipe—if you don’t mind a bit of a sweet flavor encroaching on your final product. The consistency of a ripe, mashed banana is a great proxy for egg whites.

Coconut Butter

This is a healthy and delicious butter alternative. If you prefer to avoid lactose and those extra calories, you should definitely opt for coconut butter. It has the ability to prevent and fight inflammation, and boost the immune system.

Applesauce

Applesauce will not only make your meals healthier, but it will also give the baked goods a special hint of taste. You can use it in a number of recipes without having to worry if it will be a good butter substitute. The best thing about applesauce is that it’s rich in Vitamin C, and provides a sweet taste to the cooking without adding calories.

Avocado

Avocado is one of the most talked-about fruits at the moment. And the whole craze is because of its many benefits to the health. First of all, it contains numerous essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin K, B2, B3, B5, magnesium, potassium, iron, folic acid and more.

Prune Puree

When it comes to healthy butter alternatives for baking, prune puree should be somewhere on top of your list. The best way to use it is for sweet baked goods such as cookies, muffins, cakes, and brownies.
