Hello Leila,

Thanks for you kind words, try this recipe one day and compare it with the one you prepare, and let me know what do you think??
the apple butter is a health option I use to deduct the fat.

I always have a few bananas that don't get eaten before they are too ripe. This sounds really good...I've never made it with the applesauce.

Hello Shirley
thanks for stopping by...
the applesauce is to cut the fat, instead of using all the oil
