I use unsweetened applesauce. Charlotte ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Marcley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 11:46 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] apple sauce for oil?
Linda, I have only used unsweetened apple sauce or prune puree in cake or brownie mixes. It is an even substitution. 1/2 cup oil = 1/2 cup oil or prune puree. I have only used prune puree in brownies which actually gives them a richer flavor. I use baby food which had a few other things in it, but it works just fine. In fact, I use the whole small jar which may be a half an ounce or one ounce more than the recipe says for oil and they still come out really good. When I was teaching low-fat cooking classes, we made two identical boxes of brownies, one with unsweetened apple sauce and one with prunes and the brownies we made with prune puree was our favorite hands down. Hope that helps a little.

I looked for this on Google.
