In a recipe book i have, it has a recipe for a mushroom stew with herb dumplings, however the dumplings are made with vegetable oil. I am wondering, would the purpose of the oil be to bind, in which case could I simply replace with an appriate amount of apple sauce? I'm thinking the applesauce will add a nice complimentary flavour, but want to make sure I'll actually have dumplings rather than crumbs at the end!.
