As odd as it sounds, I am wanting to substitute Peanut Butter with Apple Sauce in a biscuit recipe. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup. Do you think a direct substitute would work? I'd be grateful for your thoughts.

no., applesauce contains far more water. and no fat to no crispen up the biscuits

Hmm. That sounds like a fair and reasonable point! Thanks for your thoughts.

You can't substitute one for the other. Peanut butter is starchy and fatty, apple sauce is wet and fibrous.
Is this a wind-up?

No it isn't!

I think you can do it for a loaf or cake but not biscuits that I have heard of.
