150 grams of applesauce = 0.61 cups (⅝ cup / 9.8 tbsp / 29.5 tsp)
Applesauce has a density of approximately 244g per cup. Unsweetened. Sweetened applesauce runs about 246g per cup. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.
| Grams | Cups | Fraction | Tablespoons | Teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 130g | 0.53 | ½ | 8.5 | 25.6 |
| 140g | 0.57 | ⅝ | 9.2 | 27.5 |
| 150g | 0.61 | ⅝ | 9.8 | 29.5 |
| 160g | 0.66 | ⅔ | 10.5 | 31.5 |
| 170g | 0.70 | ⅔ | 11.1 | 33.4 |
How the 150g Figure Is Calculated
150g divided by 244g (the weight of one cup of applesauce) equals 0.61 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 9.8 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 29.5 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Applesauce is denser than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 150g of applesauce fills less volume (145ml) than the same weight of water would (150ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 150 grams to cups page.
If Your Recipe Uses Metric or Imperial Cups
The 0.61 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 150g, that's ⅝ metric cups or ½ imperial cups of applesauce, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Scaling 150g Up or Down
Doubling a recipe that calls for 150g of applesauce means weighing 300g, or measuring 1.23 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 75g, or 0.31 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.
Applesauce vs. Other Produce & Purees
Within produce & purees, density still varies by ingredient. At 150g, pumpkin puree (245g per cup) measures ⅝ cup, while mashed banana (225g per cup) measures ⅔ cup, compared to ⅝ cup for applesauce. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Using Applesauce in Recipes
- Recipes typically call for this ingredient in amounts ranging from a tablespoon to a full cup, depending on the dish.
- Check your specific recipe for the exact gram amount, then use the converter above to find the matching cup measurement.
How to Measure It Accurately
Produce & Purees
Purees should be leveled with a spatula. Chopped produce should be packed only if the recipe specifically calls for it.
For exact results
Puree consistency varies by brand and preparation method, so a homemade puree may measure differently by weight than a canned one even at the same cup volume.

Applesauce weighs 244g per cup because of its own density. Unsweetened. Sweetened applesauce runs about 246g per cup.
Does a metric or imperial cup change this 150g conversion?+
Yes, slightly. 150g of applesauce is ⅝ metric cups or ½ imperial cups, versus ⅝ US cups, since each cup standard holds a different volume.
