Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 244g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 6 ounces of applesauce
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 6 × 28.35 = 170.10g
  3. 1 cup of applesauce = 244g
  4. 170.10g ÷ 244g/cup = 0.70 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Cup?

A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.70 cups, based on applesauce having a density of 244g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 244 (grams per cup). For 6 ounces: 6 × 28.3495 = 170.10g, then 170.10 ÷ 244 = 0.70 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh applesauce on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.70 cups × 244g/cup = 170.10g, then 170.10g ÷ 28.3495 = 6 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
