Apple Sauce

[debtfreeme]

Does any one know, when it comes to apple sauce instead of oil, is it the same amounts as the oil or more or less? Sweetened sauce or natural? I used to do this years ago but I cannot remember it now, also does anyone have suggestions of when to use it? I tried it with brownies, came out horrible. In what other things does it work? I know cakes but i am not much of a cake maker, prefer brownies.

Thanks,

One for one substitution

I have apple drops in my yard; I make apple sauce by putting in cored, halved, unpeeled apples in my Crock Pot. I used to slice, dice, put through a ricer....I realized I didn't need to. If I leave the apple sauce in the cooker for another day, I can get a nice brown apple butter, easily.

I use apple sauce one for one for fat, but I usually only substitute only half, partially because I use soyflour (and water) instead of egg so I worry about the moisture. I'm not very taste or texture sensitive, myself, so I probably should substitute the whole thing.

You can go one to one, just check that the consistency is about the same as it would be with oil.

Works great in muffins.

Applesauce cake, muffins, breads. Applesauce cake can be a pan cake, not a layered one, and you can make it thin so more like brownies. Add extra eggs to get a more brownie effect. I have a chocolate applesauce cake recipe.

Anyhoo, in general, should be an easy substitution. If it's not cooking right, use less, and make sure you have the eggs in it (binding). If it looks soupy, add more flour or oatmeal/oatbran/soak it up

This may sound weird, but can you cook pork chops in a slow cooker in apple sauce. I cooked some yesterday in a marinade. Well, they are very tender, but the marinade is too strong for my taste. I want something sweeter tasting. Anyone ever try it?

[PrincessPerky]

No but It sounds wonderful, when I was growing up the only way to eat porkchops was drowned in applesauce! Haven't had them in ages. (DH thinks the only way to eat them is shake in bake, eww, no offense)

[Ima saver]

I like shake and bake, but they are sometimes tough. For some reason, pork chops have been real cheap here lately. I think I will try the applesauce thing.

Tightwad Gazette has a good recipe for homemade shake and bake.

Recipe for Applesauce:-

Ingredients:
• 1 cup Peeled, cored and diced Apple (1 medium size)
• 1/2 cup or as needed Water
• 1 Cinnamon Stick (optional)

Procedure:
1. Combine the chopped apples, water and cinnamon stick (if using) in a saucepan and cook it for about 15 minutes or until tender. Add some more water if you think its necessary.
2. Remove it from heat and cool it.
3. If there is excess water, drain out the apples and blend it smooth in a blender adding little water if needed. Reserve the excess liquid and use it in the baking recipe for some of the liquids mentioned. The above measurement yields 3/4th of a cup of applesauce which can be substituted for 3 eggs.

Note:-
1. The cooking can be very well done in a microwave oven too. It takes only about 3 minutes to cook.
2. Since we are not using any preservatives, I would suggest using this homemade applesauce within a day or two.
3. To process such a small amount of apple you need a very small blender like the Magic Bullet or the Indian mixer jar I own. If you don’t have either one of these try using a fork/potato masher or increase the quantity of apples.
4. You may choose to use the cinnamon or omit it. It is especially preferable to use the spice if you are going to use the applesauce in a recipe which calls for cinnamon.
5. This homemade applesauce is also a very good starter food for babies. You can try the same with pears too.
6. If finding unsweetened applesauce is not a problem, then I would recommend buying the pack with small snack size cups instead of a big bottle. You won’t believe how many times I have thrown away bottles with about 3/4th of the sauce still in there. However careful you might be like using a clean and dry spoon, closing the lid properly and refrigerating it immediately after use, it tends to grow mold. So these snack size packs are very convenient and economical. Each container measures about 1/2 a cup. Even if you use only a small portion of that, you can always snack on the remaining or use it while preparing pancakes, in milkshakes etc.
