Slow Cooker Applesauce

October 23, 2014 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC14 Comments

I recently went to a farmer’s market and set out to buy ALL THE APPLES. I wanted to try my hand at homemade applesauce because applesauce is delicious and why would I buy it when I could make it, am I right? I love nothing more than fresh, in season food so this season’s apple bounty was inspiring. I decided to just kind of wing this recipe because I figured it couldn’t be that hard. And I was right. Slow cooker applesauce was easy and since I used my new amazing apple peeler (seriously…how am I just now getting one of these??), it involved very little hands on time.

    I had no idea it was that easy! Ummmm I want a peeler now! It was a pain peeling all those apples when I made my crisp.

    I have never made homemade applesauce. I had no idea you could make it in the crockpot. Sounds very simple.

    I would have never thought I could make my own applesauce! Seems so simple. It looks like a long wait time. Maybe do over night so if I want to cook something with my slow cooker it would be availbale.

      well you could cut the time down by cooking on high. i just really prefer to cook on low so it was a long time. you could cook it for 4-6 hours on high, though!

    I have always wanted to make applesauce! I just never have enough apples…I buy them and as soon as I set them down…the kids start eating them! I am going to have to actually get around to doing it sometime, before they eat them!
