In brownies? And i don't have applesauce!
Answers:
Yes you can use shortening, butter, or any other type of oil that doesn't have flavor such as canola oil. Just avoid olive oil because that just wouldn't taste good in brownies. Applesauce does work as a healthier substitute for oil in baking recipes. My mom bakes cakes with applesauce all the time and you can't taste it.
