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.
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
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
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."
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...
"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.
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!

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

I would love to hear about your experience with vegan cheesecake, it sounds like an amazing tale
lies, vegan cheesecake is fire
Pumpkin puree works pretty well too if your recipe can handle a little squashiness.
Can anyone elucidate me? What’s the purpose of apple sauce/oil in cake? Moisture retention? Texture? Adherence? Taste?

There are really good cakes with olive oil, you just can't use it randomly.
What he failed to mention is that he used Gerber apple sauce.
and instead of 1 tbsp .... they used 1 cup
I didn't have salt so I substituted garlic.
Link approves this comment.
I replaced my entire diet with applesauce and I think I might be shitting myself to death.
Add some sugar free gummy bears and let it all go.
Wash it down with some Tuscan Whole Milk.
Do I want to know what this is?
Yes. Yes you do.

You need to follow it up with an applesauce enema to replace the electrolytes.
I did a bump of applesauce, and now I have a sinus infection.
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.

It is a well-known substitution but you can't say you followed the recipe exactly after doing that.
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
flowerflour.Did you need flower or flour?
Woops lol
Replaced chocolate with dog shit, don't know why it tastes so bad
Skill issue

ooo i love this stuff
Reminds me of the two times I screwed up some cornbread by mismeasuring the milk. Twice
Well, he says it himself: he did not turn out well. Should do better in next life!
I accidentally used powdered sugar instead of flour. The cookies were terrible
Applesauce is a pretty standard substitute for oils when baking. My mom eould always use it when making brownies.
