Slow Cooker Applesauce Recipes

Making applesauce couldn't be easier. Just 3 ingredients (probably ones that you already have on hand)! This recipe doesn't use sugar, because I find that it is not needed, but you could always add sugar to taste.

This is a recipe from cookingfor7 member on Allrecipes.com - I like that fact that there is no sugar added and is made in a slow cooker

This recipe is from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook.

If you have an apple peeler the prep time will be significantly reduced. It took me about an hour to manually peel and core (using an apple slicer) 10 medium sized apples.

This applesauce has just a hint of orange flavor to satisfy a sweet craving.

Sugar can be added as the last step if preferred, not included in the nutrition information (it was sweet enough as is).

I adapted this recipe from Family Circle. Original nutrition data: 226 calories, 8 g fat (5 saturated), 4 g protein, 35 g carbs, 1 g fiber, 279 g sodium, 46 mg cholesterol.
This version is just as delicious.

A little twist on a few different recipes I've done over time

Yummy, easy, fresh! So good warm with yogurt and nuts. Enjoy!

I like chunky, not sweet applesauce. I'm moving towards more natural foods. So I just cut up 16-18 apples of mixed varieties and layer cinnamon between the layers, put the slower cooker on low with the lid on and wala - lots of applesauce with no preservatives. I freeze it in one and two cup containers and use a half serving in my morning oatmeal to boost the nutrition.
