Slow Cooker Apple Sauce
This slow cooker apple sauce is so easy and delicious. Fresh apples make a healthy homemade recipe. Make it chunky, smooth, sweet, or tart.
Equipment
- CrockPot slow cooker
Ingredients
- 10 C apple chunks peeled & cored (see above for best apple varieties)
- ⅓ C water
- 1 TB lemon juice
For Sweetened Apple Sauce
- ⅓ C sugar for a sweeter sauce, use ¼ C for a more tart taste (we prefer ¼C sugar for our Fuji & Granny Smith sauce)
For Spice Apple Sauce
- ½ tsp each Cinnamon, Clove, and/or Allspice optional
Instructions
- Peel, core, and dice the apples into large-sized chunks.
- Add apples to the insert of your CrockPot slow cooker. Next, add the water and lemon juice.
- Cook on HIGH for 3 hours in your slow cooker.
- Add optional sugar to taste. Also if you want spiced apple sauce, this is the time to add the optional spices. Stir to combine and break the apples down more.
- Cook one more hour on HIGH, for a total of 4 hours.
- After 4 hours, the apple sauce will be ready. You can cool and enjoy immediately for a slightly chunky apple sauce. For a smoother apple sauce, you can use an immersion blender until it is the consistency you like.
- Store in an air-tight container in your refrigerator for 7 - 10 days.
