Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, applesauce, and honey.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan before slicing into wedges to serve.
Enjoy your low-fat cornbread warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
