This slow cooker applesauce recipe is so unbelievably delicious BUT at the same time, it’s incredibly easy to make. Isn’t that the combination all us at-home cooks crave? Sweet enough to satisfy our cravings but a healthy alternative to other desserts the kids typically reach for.
You can always adjust the amount of sugar you add to this recipe to your liking. Better yet, try omitting it completely if you’d like! Apples are naturally sweet on their own!
Personally, this version works best for my family. I love using my slow cooker. It’s one of my favorite kitchen tools EVER.
In fact, I’m purchasing one for my younger cousin for Christmas and I’m thinking of printing her out all of the slow cooker recipes I’ve posted to DATE on Lady and the Blog. Just to help her get started on her culinary adventures!!!
Give the below slow cooker applesauce recipe a shot the first time around and then make your adjustments the second or third time.
In case you are wondering about the SIZE of apples that were used for this recipe, they were medium sized. Some people refer to them as “lunchbox apples” if that term is familiar to you. I would not call the apples that were used GIANT by any means. Average at best.
