(*) A note on cooking ingredients measurentsIt is difficult to get an exact conversion of cooking ingredients as the density of these substances can vary so much depending on temperature, humidity, how well packaged the ingredient is, etc. These words add even more uncertainty: sliced, chopped, diced, crushed, minced, etc. Therefore, it is better to measure dry ingredients by weight rather than volume as this can be more accurate.

Few things are more annoying for a home cook than having to stop and run to the grocery store mid-recipe for more ingredients. Let's say you have a new recipe that calls for 10 cups of sliced apples. To avoid a mid-prep shopping trip, how many apples do you need to buy? It's difficult to say because every apple is a little different from the next. Here is a list of equivalents that might help you when you are standing in the produce section at your favorite market.

Equivalents and Measures

  • 1 pound apples = 2 large apples
  • 1 pound apples = 3 or 4 medium apples
  • 1 pound apples = 3 cups cored, sliced or chopped apples
  • 1 pound apples = 1 1/3 cups applesauce
  • 1 medium apple = 1 cup cored, sliced apples
  • 1 medium apple = 3/4 cup cored, chopped apples
  • 1 medium apple = 1/2 cup mashed apples
  • 4 pounds fresh apples = 4 cups applesauce
  • 4 pounds fresh apples = 1 pound dried apples
  • 2 pounds fresh apples = filling for one 9-inch pie
  • 1 pound dried apples = 4 1/3 cups
  • 1 pound dried apples = 8 cups cooked apples
  • A bushel of apples is the dry equivalent of 2 gallons of produce.

According to this equivalent list, 10 cups of sliced apples requires 10 medium apples. To be on the safe side, buy one additional apple. You don't want to run short—after all, it's always better to have too many ingredients than too few! 

The Difference Between Large and Medium Apples

Allow a lot of leeway with these equivalents. They can only be approximate because not every apple is the same size. Typically, apples are classified by their diameter as follows:

  • Small apples are approximately 2 1/4 inches in diameter.
  • Medium apples are approximately 2 3/4 inches in diameter.
  • Large apples are approximately 3 3/4 inches in diameter.

To keep things interesting, when apples are sliced thinly, more slices fit in a measuring cup than when they are sliced into thick chunks. Some apples are tart and some are sweet. Some are relatively hard and some are almost mealy. These types of challenges are why cooking is often referred to as an art. If your recipe calls for a specific type of apple—Granny Smith, for example—buy that apple type. If it isn't available, buy a similar hard or crisp apple to substitute for the Granny Smith apples. If you don't know which apples are similar to the type called for in your recipe, ask the produce manager for help.

Substitutions

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but sometimes you might want to indulge in a different fruit. When you're eating fresh fruit, just about any fruit can be substituted for apples. When it comes to recipes, though, you have to be more careful. Some substitutes:
