1/5. I took the community name and replaced all letters with numbers and it didn’t work.

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?
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.
and instead of 1 tbsp … they used 1 cup
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 I got a pickle salad.
“I followed the instructions exactly except that I took one left turn instead of a right turn. I don’t know why I didn’t arrive at the correct destination as I followed the route exactly.”
I replaced my entire diet with applesauce and I think I might be shitting myself to death.
Add some sugar free gummy bears and let it all go.
Wash it down with some Tuscan Whole Milk.
Do I want to know what this is?
You’ll get pancreas issues first. Exactly what Steve Jobs died from
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.
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.
I accidentally used powdered sugar instead of flour. The cookies were terrible
Applesauce is a pretty standard substitute for oils when baking. My mom eould always use it when making brownies.
