Slow Cooker Applesauce Recipe

How to make it

---

• If you’ve got a slow-cooker, applesauce is really easy to make. Play around with optional ingredients like anise, ginger and cinnamon until you find the perfect blend for your taste buds.
• Different apple varieties will affect the sweetness of the sauce too, so make notes on every batch until you figure out your favorite blend.
• Peel and core apples. Chop into cubes or slice thinly. If you want a chunkier applesauce, go with cubes. They take longer to cook, but will retain some chunkiness.
• Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours. Stir twice during cooking.
• Optional: blend with an immersion blender if you want a smooth applesauce.
