    Slow cooker applesauce is sweet and tangy, and once you've tasted this recipe you'll never buy store-bought again.



    This is the perfect side dish to make this Fall, a great way to use up those apples and it is incredibly delicious. After just a few hours, you'll have the most flavorful, delicious homemade applesauce you could ever imagine! So much better than store-bought!

    Let's not forget how amazing your house is going to smell while these apples are cooking. Autumn comfort food simmering for hours...so good!

    Which apples are best for applesauce?

    All apples are fair game when it comes to applesauce. I usually just get whatever is on sale that week. But if you choose a more tart apple like Granny Smith you will have to add more sugar in the end according to taste.

    How to make slow cooker applesauce:

    First peel, core, and cut your apples into quarters. Toss them into the slow cooker. Add the water and lemon juice and sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples and give them a good stir. Cook apples on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Use a potato masher or fork to break up the chunks. Now enjoy a nice warm bowl of applesauce.

    Some items I used to make this recipe:

    • Slow Cooker
    • Apple peeler
    • Immersion Blender
    • Potato Masher
    • Blender

      You need 10 large apples which would be about 12-14 cups of diced apples. It doesn't have to be exact.
