Crockpot Applesauce
Crockpot applesauce made with four simple ingredients in the slow cooker! Once you've made this easy homemade version, you'll never go back to store-bought.
Ingredients
- 12 medium golden delicious apples (about 4-5 pounds)
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4-1/2 cup granulated sugar (more if you prefer sweeter)
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon , optional
Instructions
- Prep apples. Peel and core 12 medium apples. Cut into quarters and place in crockpot. Toss apples in 1 Tablespoon lemon juice. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, if using, until combined. Add 1/2 cup water and cover with the lid.
- Slow cook. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or until apples are very soft.
- Mash or puree. Let cool slightly and mash with a potato masher to reach the desired consistency or blend in the blender for a smoother texture. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Notes
Puree: You can also use a food mill or food processor to puree the apples, if you prefer.
Quantity: Makes about 6 cups.
Storage: This applesauce will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks if stored in a sealed container (I prefer mason jars).
