Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, skim milk, eggs, and honey until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix to prevent the cornbread from becoming dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 8 equal portions and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
