Baking a cake involves chemical reactions between the ingredients.
The fats in the butter are intended to interact in certain ways with the other ingredients - and this won't happen with apple sauce.

== == I have never tried this with butter but it works for substituting for oil You can substitute vegetable oil for butter in a cake, but be aware that some vegetable oils have a strong or savoury flavour that might not be suitable for a cake. Taste the oil first. Also, butter, being a natural animal product, melts at body temperature, giving a luxurious mouth-feel as it melts in your mouth, so this aspect of the pleasant texture of the cake will be lost. Also, butter can be whipped or creamed more easily to incorporate air into the cake and will therefore more easily give a lighter cake than oil.
Applesauce makes a great substitute for oiland its fat free.
Butter.A further response:Since margarine was developed as an inexpensive substitute for butter, butter is also a good substitute for margarine. Depending on exactly what recipe you are making, other possible substitutes might be lard or chicken fat (schmaltz), or a neutral tasting vegetable oil such as canola oil. Each type of fat will produce a slightly different baked product.
