Cornbread with Applesauce

I have been baking with applesauce a lot because I have a large jar of it. I would like to use the jar completely before experimenting with other substitutes.  While baking with applesauce usually results in only a slight change in taste, the texture is always off.  I think once this jar is empty I will try other things.

One epic fail I have experienced was with cornbread.  Applesauce in cornbread does not work.  It did not stick together at all.  The taste is horribly bland.  I will use lots of honey and a little butter to get through this pan, but I will not be trying that one again.
