I don't think it would work for pie crust, a graham cracker crust it might work as a sub for the butter, but not sure on a pastry crust. I sub the oil with applesauce in cakes and some breads and they all turn out great.

The Resident Destroyer of Liberal Logic Location: PNW	NOT PIE CRUST!!!!!! I don't know about bread, I don't bake it because I would eat it by the loaf straight out of the oven. But, I DO make pies all the time for various reasons and you CANNOT use applesauce, it doesn't make layers like cold butter does.

Expert Posts: 2457	yeah ...definitely not in pie crust. The flakey goodness comes from the fat that you add to make the crust. Applesauce works well in breads. Have you tried a bottomless pie? When my mom lost her weight, she would make pies without the crust on the bottom - the tops were crushed nuts, and berries mixed with oats and other chewy/crunchy items. She could still make the fruit pie for her sweet tooth but it cut some calories for her by removing the traditional crust. Just an option. Good Luck!
