Yes. Or you can use butter. If you are a margarine family, you can use that too.If you use butter or margarine, remember these already have salt so you can reduce the amount of salt if the recipe calls for it.
No one calls butter fruit.
AnswerIf a recipe calls specifically for butter than that is what you must use. It has to do with the percentage of oil present and the stability of the product. You are only ok to use margarine when the recipe says you can do so. Or if it calls for the use interchangibly with butter.It is a one for one split. But pay attention to the water content.

Yes, might taste a little different but still delicious!
Sometimes you can, but the result will end up different. It is best to use exactly what the recipe calls for.
