QuestionWhat do I do if it is still raw?Michelle.PerroneCommunity AnswerPut it back in the microwave 10 seconds at a time. Touch it on the top; if it bounce back, then it's done.

QuestionIs there anything else (with no flavor ) that can replace the applesauce if I don't want to do this with applesauce?Rabiah MillerCommunity AnswerDepending upon what texture and what outcome you are looking for, applesauce can be substituted with many things, including: eggs, olive oil, butter, and milk. This will create a slightly different texture, but overall will not have too much of an effect, nor will it dramatically change the flavor.
