Recipe: Easy Slow Cooker Applesauce (no sugar)

Fall is the perfect time to make applesauce in the crock pot or slow cooker. We always make it without any sugar, and it tastes wonderful! It’s a great recipe for the kids to help out with too~ all the way from peeling the apples to eating it! I love recipes that invite kids in the kitchen with you. (This post contains affiliate links to Amazon.)

Making No-Sugar Crockpot Applesauce

Ingredients

• 8 apples
• 1 orange
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• Apple peeler (optional)

Directions

1. Peel, core, and slice your apples. (It’s fun to experiment with different types and combinations of apples for the applesauce. For this batch we used 4 honeycrisp, 2 fuji, and 2 grannysmith apples.)

2. Put sliced apples into a slow cooker. Cover with the juice of one orange.

3. Add 1/2 cup water and top with 2 cinnamon sticks.

4. Cook until the apples break up when stirred. We did ours on high for about 2 1/2 hours.

5. Eat warm or refrigerate for later!
