yes u can i do it all the time http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/low-fat-baking1.htm
I found a recipe that called for 2 TBL of apple jelly. I wasn't able to find the apple jelly at my local grocers so I bought a Hostess small fried apple pie, scooped out the insides, and the recipe turned out great! Hope this helps.
To trade cider a recipe, one cup of apple juice to one tablespoon apple cider vinegar is a reasonable substitute. However, this will not act the same as apple cider.
yes... if you want your guests to get incredibally ill of deadened taste buds!
I personally substitute vegetable oil with canola oil. It is low in saturated fat and healthier for you. Some canola oils also contain omega 3, which many doctors recommend to their patients. *** Any other oil, corn, canola , olive , can be used as a substitute.( Even melted margarine or butter with limits) . Its mostly the flavor the fat brings to the dish or recipe that will be the difference. I'm over simplifying , but with out more info as to what you are preparing .. that's about it. Another good substitute for vegetable oil is apple sauce. It is healthier, but it does surprisingly taste very good and as it would with the oil. We didn't have any types of oil, and I found that apple sauce answer on yahoo answers. Cool! (: Enjoy...
half apple juice concentrate / half brandy. You could also try apple cider, but it isn't as .. pleasing or as strong. The Calvados leaves a pleasant taste to the recipe - the cider doesn't keep the flavor as it tends to bake out.
If you are following a recipe that calls for Apple butter then no...you can't use apple jelly...different, texture, different taste, different ingrediants but if you are creating your own recipe then yes you can use whatever you like...just be prepared because creating your own recipe will make it your fault if it comes out nasty! However the only way to learn is to try!
I have substituted apple juice for almost any recipe that calls for apple cider. Cider tends to have more of a 'bite' to it because it is not filtered. It is usually darker and may change the visual asthetics of a recipe but it shouldn't alter the taste. In most states, there is no distinction between apple cider and apple juice, unless you are refering to an alcoholic version of cider in which case, maybe a dry white wine could be substituted.
Apparently. I tried to substitute pickle juice for apple cider vinegar in a recipe and it wouldn't rise at all.
I believe you use the apple sauce to replace the oil... healthier recipe and it doesnt taste any different... makes a very moist cake too!
It's might be better to substitute oils, butter and margarine with applesauce in oil-based baked goods like muffins and breads, or moist cakes. Substitute applesauce one for one with the oil, and it helps to add in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. They say a little oil goes a long way in contributing to a better taste and texture. I've done this a few times with a zucchini bread recipe that calls for 1/2 cup of oil. I use 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce and the bread tastes great.
I'm a huge fan of replacing oil with applesauce. If the recipe calls for 1/2 c. of oil, I use 1/2 c. applesauce as a healthy alternative. You will not taste apple regardless of the cake's flavor. If you don't keep applesauce in your home you can also use sour cream, or plain yogurt in the same way. Best of luck! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmm!! leaving out the shortening will affect the texture of the cake, I will not say the above answer is wrong but try it on a small cake first.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you don't want wine because of the alcohol, you could use stock (chicken, vegetable or beef) If you need the sugar that is in the wine, you could use apple juice.
