Basic Applesauce (Slow Cooker)
Basic Applesauce (Slow Cooker)
I have never made applesauce before so I researched and found this, basically peeled, cored, and sliced apples and cooked with a bit of water, and if desired, sugar and salt as well. I made this on 14 Dec 2017, and wow is this better than from a jar! I have changed this up to a slow cooker recipe, which is perfect for the controlled heat.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Potato Masher
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- ½ cup water
- pinch salt, small pinch
- ½ cup sugar, optional, not really needed
Instructions
- Add the water and a pinch of salt to your slow cooker and set to High setting.
- Peel, core, cut the apples in quarters, and slice. Put the apple slices in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook until the apples are soft. Stir about every 15 minutes, after 30 to 45 minutes, mash with a potato masher. Add sugar if desired depending on how sweet you would like this. Cook to melt the sugar in and cook down to a sauce.
- Cook for another 30 minutes on Low setting, and you have the best tasting applesauce ever. Serve as a dessert or use as an ingredient in baking.
