Slow cooker applesauce is an easy way to make a big batch of your own homemade unsweetened applesauce. The long slow cooking brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit, and there's little preparation required.
Add the cored and chopped apples to the slow cooker, along with the water. Cook on medium for 4 hrs, until the apples are completely tender to the point of a knife. Check after 3 hrs, especially if you are making a smaller quantity.
If you prefer, you can blitz your applesauce with a hand blender to turn it a smooth apple puree.
Notes
If you want to make cinnamon applesauce, add a tablespoon of cinnamon powder or a cinnamon stick to this recipe quantity.
