I have got a TON of apple sauce. Anyone got any recipes that I can use apple sauce in? Michelle DMK Ranch
I use it instead of shortening when I'm baking . Mine has no sugar in it though. Maybe you can cut down on the sugar in the recipe( if your sauce is sweetened) It really works well with cake mixes. Don't use the oil they recommend. Instead use 1/3 cup applesauce.
I love to warm unsweetened applesauce and melt "red hots" cinnamon candies in it. It is my favorite cold night tummy warmer dessert. And it is great over pound cake, angel cake or whatever.
Mine is unsweetened and I do use it in some of my baking. I will ahve to try the red hots. DH and DS love those and applesauce. Never thought to put it over cake. Thanks. Michelle DMK Ranch
here is a muffin recipe Everlasting Muffins 1 stick of butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 cup applesauce 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 2 cups flour pecans if you like Mix well in that order. Bake for 23 mins at 400. makes 12 I mix this up and put it in the fridge over night and bake them in the morning for breakfast. It will keep in the fridge for up to 6 wks.(mine has never lasted that long) The recipe can be doubled.
If you're going to can it, use these directions: http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/can_02/applesauce.html Just warming it up & putting it into a jar will not kill enough bacteria nor will it create a sufficient vacuum for preservation. I use applesauce in brownie recipes to replace half or more of the oil.
It is already canned. I just have so much of it, I'm not sure if we will be able to just 'eat it'. I love to make muffins for a quick breakfast or snacks. Michelle DMK Ranch
