【趣谈英语】用苹果酱代替菜油-Applesauce Is A Substitute For Oil

Have you ever run out of vegetable oil while you were baking? Applesauce makes a great substitute for vegetable oil when baking cookies, cakes, or muffins. It also replaces some of the unhealthy fats in your food. You can substitute applesauce one for one. That means, if your cake recipe calls for half a cup of vegetable oil, you can use half a cup of applesauce instead. Your baked goods will have fewer calories if you use applesauce instead of oil. You may be surprised that your baked goods taste the same as usual, though they may have a slightly different texture². If a recipe calls for applesauce, you can use other types of fruit puree. Be sure to use the equivalent amount. Other useful substitutes for baking include sour cream for yogurt, and honey for maple³ syrup⁴. If a recipe calls for a cup of wine, you can substitute it with a cup of chicken broth⁵, a cup of water, or a cup of fruit juice plus two teaspoons⁶ of vinegar.
