Slow Cooker Skinny Applesauce
Homemade applesauce is far superior to the store bought brands in terms of both nutrition and taste, and it’s super easy to make. This Skinny Ms. recipe doesn’t even need sugar, as the precise amount of apples make the sweetness just right. It is only 82 calories per serving with 1 gram of fat! Now that is a sweet treat that will help keep your waistline slim. If you want to really spotlight the sweetness of the apples, put a few strips of lemon peel into the slow cooker. This will enhance the yummy taste.  Use the applesauce as a side dish with pork chops and your tummy will be very happy. If you want to save your applesauce, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also can it for a longer shelf life.

Awesome!!!!
Angie, Thanks!
Tried this and it was amazing, especially warm right out of the crock pot! Do you by any chance have a recipe for making natural, sugar free apple butter?
Cheryl, Follow the recipe and simply leave out any added sweetener. It’s delish w/o the sugar.
Can you freeze the applesauce?
Angelle, Yes, just be sure to leave some space at the top of the jar as it will expand when frozen.
