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.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's also a common egg substitute used in vegan cooking or for people with allergies. Wild, isn't it?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Egg is a much harder thing to replace. My son is vegan so my wife is often baking things that are vegan. Chia egg or aquafaba are usually pretty good. She makes a vegan muffin that I honestly prefer to “normal” muffins. Although I’m not 100% sure what she puts in them, I’d bet its applesauce.

Whatever you do, don’t ever have vegan “cheesecake”…. run away… quickly

I would love to hear about your experience with vegan cheesecake, it sounds like an amazing tale

[–] toeblast96@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

lies, vegan cheesecake is fire

[–] thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pumpkin puree works pretty well too if your recipe can handle a little squashiness.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can anyone elucidate me? What’s the purpose of apple sauce/oil in cake? Moisture retention? Texture? Adherence? Taste?

[–] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] truite@jlai.lu 5 points 1 week ago

There are really good cakes with olive oil, you just can't use it randomly.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What he failed to mention is that he used Gerber apple sauce.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

and instead of 1 tbsp .... they used 1 cup

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I didn't have salt so I substituted garlic.

[–] NewSocialWhoDis@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I replaced my entire diet with applesauce and I think I might be shitting myself to death.

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Add some sugar free gummy bears and let it all go.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You need to follow it up with an applesauce enema to replace the electrolytes.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago

I did a bump of applesauce, and now I have a sinus infection.

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You'll get pancreas issues first. Exactly what Steve Jobs died from

Jobs was dumber. He started his fruitarian nonsense in response to his extremely treatable pancreatic cancer.

Shoutout to my community !ididnthaveeggs@sh.itjust.works which is more of this! I’d recommend someone check it out :)

[–] fbr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 1 week ago

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

(Nice community, I’ve subscribed!)

[–] edgesmash@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'd recommend someone check it out :)

OK, I'll be your someone!

Edit: it was definitely worth it! 5/7 perfect score

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can’t stop laughing at these posts 😂 thanks for sharing this community 

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I’m glad you’re enjoying the posts! I’ve got a few more saved, they’ll be posted shortly. After that I’ll be on the hunt, and hopefully others can add posts too.

"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."

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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...

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"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.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is a well-known substitution but you can't say you followed the recipe exactly after doing that.

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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~~ flour.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you need flower or flour?

Replaced chocolate with dog shit, don't know why it tastes so bad

Reminds me of the two times I screwed up some cornbread by mismeasuring the milk. Twice

[–] Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Well, he says it himself: he did not turn out well. Should do better in next life!

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I accidentally used powdered sugar instead of flour. The cookies were terrible

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 6 points 1 week ago

Applesauce is a pretty standard substitute for oils when baking. My mom eould always use it when making brownies.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Iusedcocaineinsteadofflourandthecookiesarefuckinggreat

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I was making some ice, but substituted the water for baby oil. Now the ice feels liquid and squishy. Don't know what I did wrong. Followed the recipe precisely!
