Crockpot Homemade Applesauce Recipe
Transform your delightful fresh apples into a gloriously tasty treat with this Crockpot Homemade Applesauce Recipe!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (I love using Gala apples)
- ½ cup Water (or a little less for smaller apples)
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (or 1 tbsp. for stronger cinnamon flavor)
- 1 tbsp White Sugar (this can be adjusted up or down, based upon the sweetness of the apples you use)
- 3/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Peel and core your apples.
- Then chop up apples into small chunky pieces, and place in the Crockpot.
- In small mixing bowl, combine Water, Cinnamon, Sugar, and Vanilla, and stir well.
- Pour Cinnamon-Sugar mixture over apples in Crockpot, and stir around with a large wooden spoon until all apples are well coated.
- Cover Crockpot, and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until soft.
- Once apples are soft, remove from Crockpot and mash with a hand masher to make a chunky style applesauce or mix with a hand mixer for a smoother applesauce. ENJOY!
- Transfer to mason jars and store in the refrigerator up to 5 days or the freezer up to 2 months.
- Or if canning for longer term storage, I like to add in a little lemon juice before processing jars in a water bath or pressure canner.
