Substitute Applesauce for Oil ?

Recipe Introduction


Is there a specific formula for applesauce for oil?


List of Ingredients




Applesauce is a terrific substitute for oil or butter. Anywhere from 3/4 cup to 1 cup of applesauce can be substituted for 1 cup of oil or butter. However, there isn''t a specific formula that I can give that guarantees success — finding the right ratio can often be trial and error. I find that most recipes really suffer from substituting 100% of the fat with applesauce. I often try using half of the fat called for and replacing the remaining half with applesauce — you get good results and still save quite a bit of fat per serving.

Here are a few tips for low-fat baking success:

Replace the 1 cup butter or oil with 3/4 cup applesauce, drained crushed pineapple, mashed ripe bananas (great in chocolate desserts) or a fruit butter, such as apple or pear.
Use cake flour or pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour. It will make cakes and cookies lighter in texture.
When a recipe calls for baking powder or soda, be sure to use the full amount and be sure it is fresh. Be very careful not to over mix the batter. Over mixing will make the final product dense and tough.
