How much applesauce do you use instead of 12 cup vegetable oil?

In: Baking [Edit categories]

Answer:

12 cups.
You substitute applesauce in equal amounts to the oil. Applesauce works well in almost all baked items, but not in brownies. The brownies do not taste the same and seem to be dry without the oil.

When baking brownies from a boxed mix, I have had great success substituting applesauce for the oil and also using egg whites instead of the yolks. My daughter used to kid me about all my low fat recipes until she ate the brownies.....after hearing how much she liked them, I told her what I did! I have become very conscious of cooking low fat since my husband had a heart stent placed several years ago....not in a major artery but still... I do admit that if I want to really "dress up" the brownies, I also have added some semi-sweet chocolate chips &/or chopped walnuts in moderation. Enjoy!
