Making your own Slow Cooker Applesauce couldn't be easier with just ONE ingredient!  A healthy and delicious snack recipe for kids that's easy to make, right in your Crockpot! Freezer friendly too! Perfect! Love that you know EXACTLY what's in it!

Slow Cooker Applesauce

Making your own Slow Cooker Applesauce is super easy.  And I mean really, REALLY easy.  There's just ONE ingredient! Just peel, core, and chop your apples, throw them in the Crockpot and voila!  Slow Cooker Applesauce!

Slow Cooker Applesauce makes a great snack for kids.  It's also freezer friendly.  Just store it in a covered freezer container until ready for use.

For a chunkier Slow Cooker Applesauce, use a potato masher to mash them up when the apples are done cooking. Or for a thinner Slow Cooker Applesauce process it in the food processor.

I usually leave my Slow Cooker Applesauce unsweetened, and just use a sweeter apple, like Gala or Golden Delicious.  But you can also add some sugar to it if you'd like.  Just a half cup of sugar for all 6 pounds of apples should do the trick.

Ingredients

  • 6 pounds sweet apples I usually use Gala, peeled, cored, and diced

Optional ingredients

  • ½ cup sugar
  • Water

Instructions

  • Toss the apples into the Crockpot. (Add sugar now too, if you want to sweeten it)
  • Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until apples are very soft, stirring every hour or two.
  • When the apples are cooked through, puree them in a blender or food processor, for a thin applesauce. Depending on the size of your processor, you may need to puree in several batches. For a chunkier applesauce, mash the apples with a potato masher. If you find your applesauce is too thick just add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Store in covered containers. If freezing, place in a freezer safe container until ready for use.

Notes

Makes about 4-6 cups.
