Applesauce Instead of a half-cup white sugar in a batch of oatmeal cookies, swap in an equal amount of applesauce! The natural sweetness from a Golden Delicious or Fuji apple is perfect in an after-dinner treat. Purchase the no sugar-added kind, or make some at home.


Lemon Fans of gin can skip the extra sugar in a Tom Collins and add an extra lemon squeeze— we promise no one will notice.
