Egg Prices Got You Down? Try This Applesauce Pistachio Biscotti Recipe for a Delicious and Affordable Snack

Are you ready to say goodbye to overpriced eggs and hello to a deliciously affordable biscotti recipe? Look no further! We’ve got the secret ingredient that will save you money and upgrade your baking game: applesauce.

When we started our biscotti company in 2020, eggs were as cheap as can be. Fast forward to 2023, and boy, have things changed. Eggs are now costing us an arm and a leg, and we refuse to let that break the bank for our customers.

But don’t worry, we’re not going vegan or anything like that. We’re just getting creative in the kitchen and finding new ways to make our delicious biscotti recipe. Enter applesauce. Not only is it a budget-friendly alternative to eggs, but it also adds a subtle sweetness and moistness to the biscotti that will have your taste buds dancing.

We’ve been in business for three years now, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. We’ve seen everything from pandemics to gas explosions, inflation and sky-high egg prices caused by the avian bird flu. But through it all, we’ve remained determined to find a solution that would allow us to continue making delicious biscotti for everyone without breaking the bank.

And that’s where applesauce comes in. It may sound strange, but it works like a charm. My nona used it in her baking for decades and once baked a batch of biscotti using it instead of eggs, and we couldn’t tell the difference! Nona’s secret ingredient has now become our saving grace.

So, without further do, we present our delicious and budget-friendly biscotti recipe made with applesauce instead of eggs.
