Carol, you can always substitute applesauce for oil in this kind of recipe; the tradeoff is less tenderness, and the bars will be drier. Still, if you do the math, with a yield of 48 bars - that's 1 teaspoon oil per serving. Maybe not as "bad" as you thought? If you want to sub applesauce, start with 1/2 cup for 1/2 cup of the oil; if yo like the result, increase the percentage of applesauce next time around. Good luck - PJH
