With fall in the air, what’s better than the smells and tastes of homemade slow cooker applesauce! We’re enjoying our Apple Adventures here at our house with our homeschool apple week. So yesterday, we tried our hand at homemade slow cooker applesauce. The kids really enjoyed this! So we’re sharing the recipe here with you all.
Slow Cooker Applesauce
10-12 medium size apples, cored and cut in chunks
1/2 cup water
Cinnamon
Place the apples and water in the slow cooker and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook on LOW about 8 hours. Once apples are soft, place in a mixing bowl and mix with mixer till smooth consistency. For smoother apple sauce, puree in a blender. Enjoy!
We chose to leave the skins on the apples. Why? Because the skin is the healthiest part of the apple! After cooking all day and then mixed with the mixer, you couldn’t even tell they were there.
We got the apples ready and in the slow cooker after breakfast and the kids enjoyed checking on it throughout the day between each subject. Next time though, I think we’ll make a double recipe. My kids had this polished off in one sitting! They loved it!
