Description

Apple sauce is great just to eat alone, or to put on oatmeal, eat with pork chops, make muffins out of, and there are so many other great recipes to use it in!

Ingredients

  • 8 cups Apples, Cored And Sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon

Preparation

Depending on the type of apples you use, you’ll find that you may need to adjust the below amounts of sugar and water. You’ll also definitely want to use a good quality vanilla. Lastly, you can either leave the peel on the apples or remove prior to cooking. I personally prefer to leave the peel on because I’m lazy and don’t want to peel so many apples, but I also like the added flavor and texture. Again, depending on your apples the skin may break down more than others.

1. Combine and place all ingredients slow cooker.
2. Cook on high for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. Once apples are soft, and if you’ve left the skin on, use a hand blender to mush all up. Makes 2-3 cups.

I usually double this recipe and use my 5-quart crock pot. And it makes my kitchen smell delicious!!

So glad to find the recipe. We waste so much apple sauce it seems when you cannot get all the apple sauce out of the bottles from the store – and I just love the idea of making it myself. Cook-on!

This was great! I loved it. But my daughter will not eat it because it was brown lol. Yours looks like a much lighter color than mine. What kind of apples did you use?
