Using Applesauce Instead of Oil

RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil Post By Lori (Guest Post) (09/16/2008) Yes, it does work on all baked goods (but not pie crust, for me anyway), even biscuits, muffins and such. You use equal measurements. If cake calls for half a cup of shortening, I use half a cup of applesauce. Though I do remove about 1-2 Tbsp of apple sauce and add the shortening. It keeps the texture right. Happy baking. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil Post By Pat @ PA (Guest Post) (09/16/2008) Hi-One more to add to your list. I use the cinnamon flavor applesause in chocolate cakes/brownies, It adds a little "something" else to flavor. (Same amount of measurement as oil).

I sometimes add a bit of water to thin it out for replacing the milk. Doesn't change the taste and makes it a bit denser, but oh so good. Made pancakes the other night using the pureed zucchini for the oil & milk then put the batter about 1/4 inch thick, into a well greased cast iron fry pan, put chopped apple on top and cinnamon sugar, cooked on one side until ready to turn, cook another minute or two and they were delicious and hearty.

If it calls for 1 cup of oil do you use 1 cup of applesauce? Thanks, Bagossage Answers: RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil Yes - just substitute unsweetened applesauce for oil in whatever amount the recipe calls for. (05/15/2006) By Crystal RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil I have used applesauce in baking to replace oil for quite some time. Yes, use the same amount of unsweetened applesauce in the recipe instead of oil. I once tried to replace butter in a recipe thinking it would be the same, IT ISN'T. So, I only replace oil. (05/15/2006) By Darlene in Mississauga RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil I have found that if you use the whole cup of applesauce, the baked item is just too heavy and dense. I use 1/2 to 3/4 cup and the rest canola oil. That seems to work fine. (05/15/2006) By Sandy RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil I have used unsweetened applesauce in my baking recipes for some time now and no one can tell the difference. I use the same amount of applesauce as what is called for in the oil or shortening measurements. No need to reduce liquid and everything comes out moist and delicious! (05/16/2006) By maggiemay RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil You can also use nonfat yogurt in recipes (cakes, breads etc) and get great results. You use the same amount that the recipe calls for in oil. (05/16/2006) By Crys RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil Yes, just substitute the oil measurement with applesauce. Though I personally do add a little oil otherwise the texture changes. Do not try this with pie crust, anyway for me it does not work. Otherwise you can use any of your favorite recipes with the applesauce. happy baking Lori (05/17/2006) By Lori RE: Using Applesauce Instead of Oil While you can substitute the same amount, I prefer to start out by using 1/2 oil and 1/2 applesauce, then go from there. I've had certain cookies turn out tough and cakes that do not rise the same. Also without any oil, sometimes there is a texture change. By starting with 1/2 of each, you are able to make any necessary adjustments.
