Box cakes can be a little dry, so the addition of applesauce is a good idea. Back (way back) when I used to bake almost all our bread,the bread in Georgia was either soft white sliced, white soft sliced, or some tan stuff that was supposed to be wheat. About the time we moved out, the artisan bakers moved in. Now they have fantastic breads in Atlanta. Anyway, I made a delicious whole wheat bread using some applesauce and various seeds. I made sprouted rye and wheat, and oatmeal. Applesauce made up some of the moisture. I also made a popular chocolate cake using applesauce and yes, I have sometimes used all sauce and NO oil. I will post a chocolate cake blog soon. The Wenatchee Enological Society www.wenwine.org has eaten it many times. Applesauce is a great substitute for oil in many recipes.

In fact, several years ago I tried completely removing the oil in a cookie recipe and found the cookies to be very spongy and a little sticky. I agree with you that half oil and half applesauce seems to result in a good balance of flavor and texture. I like the idea of substituting applesauce for oil.
