Applesauce is usually a healthy option, but when you buy pre-made applesauce, it is sometimes packed with added sugar and chemicals. You might think you are eating healthy, but you are actually indulging more than if you were eating some desserts! Instead of buying pre-made applesauce, whip up a batch of our slow cooker version that leaves out all those added, unnecessary ingredients.
Slow cooker recipes are quick and convenient. When you are tempted to buy pre-made, consider a slow cooker version of your favorite foods. You do not need to spend hours in the kitchen prepping or cooking, but you still get a healthier, homemade version of the standards. Healthy slow cooker foods are great for entertaining or for feeding your family fast. You can prepare the foods early in the day and have a dish all ready by dinner time.
We recommend a minimum slow cooker size of 5 quarts.

I'm entering the contest…..This is one of my favorite recipes because it is simple and healthy. It allows me to control what I feed to my family and be free of preservatives and allergens. I have a 2 year old daughter and a husband that has celiacs and is allergic to peanuts and shellfish, so knowing what is in the food I feed my family is very important!
Awesome recipe! It reminds me of the applesauce my mom made & canned when I was younger. I left the skins on & had to use a hand blender a bit to break them down, but it gave the sauce a great color. My family loves it as well.
Thank you for the great website!
You’re welcome ChrisH.
I make in crock pot without adding anything except the apples and it's still delicious!!
I can’t wait to try this! On step two, you forget to put a P for Place instead of Lace.
