| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 293 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 206 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Applesauce by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of applesauce weighs about 15.2g, and one teaspoon about 5.08g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon applesauce to grams = 15.2g
- 2 tablespoons applesauce = 30.5g
- 3 tablespoons applesauce = 45.8g
- 1 teaspoon applesauce = 5.08g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of applesauce is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 0.93 cups of applesauce — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of applesauce weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of applesauce?
Because one cup of applesauce weighs about 244 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 244. So 100g of applesauce is about 0.41 cups, 200g is about 0.82 cups, 250g is about 1.02 cups, and 300g is about 1.23 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure applesauce accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh applesauce on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of applesauce weighs about 244 grams (8.61 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts applesauce and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: To cut fat in a cake or muffin, replace up to half the oil or butter with an equal amount of unsweetened applesauce; replacing all of it can turn bakes rubbery.
