Low-fat Johnny Cake (Corn Bread)

In Maine Corn Bread is sometimes called Johnny Cake!  I love the sweet bread with Chili but I don’t like how high in calories it can be!  I have lightened this recipe using no-sugar added applesauce and every time I make it this way the whole batch is gone in no time!!!  I find that it’s very moist and sweet and very flavorful too :)
