If you'd like to use an unsweetened apple butter here instead of applesauce, just keep in mind that apple butter is more concentrated and will therefore have more carbs.

Notes
Erythritol is a calorie-free natural sweetener, and is not included in the carb count here. Including the carbs adds 7.5g per bar but does not change the calories.
If you'd like to substitute the whey with pea protein or casein, you'll need to add some liquid.
