Easy, healthy homemade applesauce in the slow cooker with no added sugar.
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time6 hours
Total Time6 hours15 minutes
Ingredients
about 5 pounds apples (I like to use a variety of types)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Instructions
Peel apples and cut into rough 1-inch chunks. Place in a slow cooker. Add lemon juice, water and pumpkin pie spice, if using. Toss to coat. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours, until apples have broken down and are very tender.
Use a potato masher to mash applesauce for a chunky consistency, or an immersion blender for a smooth sauce. Let cool and store in the refrigerator.
