Stupid recipe

  For anyone unaware, applesauce is actually a common oil substitution in baking. This isn’t as crazy as it may seem.

  That said, there’s still the issue with the use of “exactly”, however if I remember correctly (and take this with a grain of salt) from my Reddit days, this was an old post and it turned out that the original recipe maker actually suggested the applesauce substitute in the first place.

    It’s also a common egg substitute used in vegan cooking or for people with allergies. Wild, isn’t it?

      Egg is a much harder thing to replace. My son is vegan so my wife is often baking things that are vegan. Chia egg or aquafaba are usually pretty good. She makes a vegan muffin that I honestly prefer to “normal” muffins. Although I’m not 100% sure what she puts in them, I’d bet its applesauce.

      Whatever you do, don’t ever have vegan “cheesecake”…. run away… quickly

      Pumpkin puree works pretty well too if your recipe can handle a little squashiness.

    Can anyone elucidate me? What’s the purpose of apple sauce/oil in cake? Moisture retention? Texture? Adherence? Taste?

      It serves the same purpose as butter, it’s just more common to use butter in baking, don’t use oil with a taste (olive oil is to be avoided for example) it will ruin the taste of the cake

    What he failed to mention is that he used Gerber apple sauce.

  I replaced my entire diet with applesauce and I think I might be shitting myself to death.

    You need to follow it up with an applesauce enema to replace the electrolytes.

      I did a bump of applesauce, and now I have a sinus infection.

  This is like my wife, but with ordering food. Buys a specialty sandwich but removes everything that makes it what it is. Then has the audacity to say it wasnt very good…

    “I’ll have a Krabby Patty with no Bottom Bun, Patty, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Cheese, Tomato, Onion, or Top Bun” and then wonder why you got a pickle salad.

  It is a well-known substitution but you can't say you followed the recipe exactly after doing that.

    I was making salt dough for my kids school project, and i was wondering why it had the consistency of icing.

    I realized i grabbed the powdered sugar container instead of flower.

      Did you need flower or flour?

    Applesauce is a pretty standard substitute for oils when baking. My mom eould always use it when making brownies.
