Ok, this is kind of a frivolous post, but I thought I'd go ahead and share with all the great Floyd cooks. I tried something for the first time today. I have heard about this before, but just never tried it.
When I cook, I really try to be health conscious. I had read about substituting applesauce for oil in recipes. I made brownies tonight and used unsweetened applesauce in the same amount the oil called for. It turned out really well. The brownies are a little cake-ier than fudgey, but still managed to satisfy my sweet tooth. If you didn't know it had the applesauce in it, you might not notice the difference. I can taste a hint of the apple, but it is still really good.
I really like to make bundt cakes. Jane (Clark) Brock is my inspiration for that! I usually buy those $0.88 Pillsbury cake mixes at Walmart to stock in my pantry. I like to experiment a little with those and try various jello/pudding packets in with the cake mixes. They always call for oil, so I think I am going to try the applesauce substitution. I'll let you know what I learn.....
Anyone else have any experience with this sort of substitution?
