    I tried this with 2 c applesauce since it doesn't specify an amount. They are NOT crunchy. How much applesauce have others used? - 1/22/10

    Sorry, it was supposed to say 1 cup applesauce... it's kind of a work in progress, so I appreciate the comment! You may need to bake longer to make them crunchier. Sometimes I leave them in the oven after I turn the heat off, which dries them out more. Thanks!
