Slow Cooker Applesauce
Fall apples are everywhere right now. What better way to use them than by making applesauce. It doesn’t get any easier than making it in the slow cooker. Place everything in the slow cooker and it makes itself. I like my applesauce chunky but if you want it smoother, put it in the food processor, blender or use an immersion blender.

Wow awesome
Thanks it is so much easier than the traditional way.
What a great idea! I am struggling under all these apples and pears haha. Will definitely give this a try!
I used to make this and can it. It always tasted so good in the winter months.
We took the easy way out and have put a load into bags and into the freezer 😉
I froze a batch of apple butter that I cooked in the slow cooker but I froze that in the mason jars (without canning of course). I had heard you could do that and wanted to try it. It takes up more room but it worked perfetly.
Ah, that is good to know! Thank you 🙂
Thank you very much madam for another great recipe.Take care.🌹👍🙏
You’re welcome and have a great weekend!🍎
So nice of you.🌹👍🙏
very clever! looks sooo good!!!
Thank you the amount of sugar may change with the type of apples used. It is amazing how much better this tastes than store bought.🍏
Perfect!! 💖
Thank you it is always so good this time of the year. 🍏🍎
You must’ve been reading my mind! I was just looking for slow cooker applesauce recipes. Yours is the easiest I’ve found so I’m saving this!
Great and taste it and add more or less sugar and spices to your taste, enjoy Michelle!🍏🍎
That is an interesting way to use a slow cooker. Never thought of that! Have you thought about using your Ninja Foodie to make applesauce? I bet yours is better and healthier than the store bought ones!
The Ninja Foodi has a slow cooker built in so I could have, but this one I made a while ago and used my Ninja 3 in 1 cooker. That cooker has a stovetop, bake, slow cooker and warmer and is shaped differently. I love that Ninja too. It was the first one I bought. Yes it tastes so much better homemade. You can control the sugar and add whatever spices you want.
yum, can’t wait to make!!! Thanks!
You’re welcome! Wait until you smell it!
oh I bet!!!! getting excited!
Looks yummy! I tried something similar-slow cooker apple butter. My house smelled amazing all day!!
Yes I love making apple butter in it too! I was debating on the applesauce post or the apple butter post. My mother in law came over when I was making apple butter and told me they need an air freshener that smells like that! Lol Thank you Shelly 🍏🍎
Yummy 😋👌
Thank you Shaheen!
TRYING THIS ON SUNDAY!
Your house is going to smell SO GOOD! Here is another recipe “Apple Butter” that you may want to try if you like apple butter. https://indianeskitchen.com/2017/08/10/slow-cooker-apple-butter
Apple sauce was always a favorite, but over the years the commercial stuff got so watered down that I haven’t had it in years. But this looks great. Maybe time to check out apple butter again too.
YES! I keep thinking store bought doesn’t have flavor but you’re right, it is so watered down! Here is a slow cooker apple butter recipe if you’re interested. https://indianeskitchen.com/2017/08/10/slow-cooker-apple-butter
Homemade applesauce is so much better than any you can buy.
It sure is, it has so much more flavor than store bought.
I like my applesauce chunky too. My mom used to have a gizmo that looked like a vice and it peeled the apples and then cored them.
Now you know I have a peeler gadget too Linda! I am the gadget queen. 😂🤣😂🤣
Ha ha – the people across the street had a huge apple tree in the backyard. They never sprayed it. The woman made applesauce from the wormy apples – she told my mom, but the time she used the apple peeler/corer and cut out the bad wormy spots, she didn’t have much apple left but made applesauce with it. She asked my mom if she wanted some … my mom told me there was really nothing left to make it worth her while. They had four kids and when the kids were grown, off on their own, she bought applesauce instead. I like applesauce and go through a large bottle (unsweetened) each week.
Strange thing Diane – I got a message on my post about the squirrels that looked like it came from you – Diane, but no profile picture and your blog site was spelled wrong (it had a “y” in it). Just sent it to you at your hot mail address to see. Unless you used a different browser – doesn’t make sense to me … hope someone is not trying to be you? I looked and there is no website by the name indianeskitchyen.com
Yes it was me. Having trouble since I updated my IPad. Then I typed wrong and hit enter before I realized it…lol I’m so tired of these updates messing things up!
I hate updates too – I updated this old computer in my room I’m using now … it was purchased in 2009 but still runs perfectly, except I did a Windows update once and now can’t get into work … it did something so I use it for pictures and other stuff – still waiting on the Windows 10 and it is perfectly fine with me if he takes his time a little longer. 🙂 I had a desktop Windows 98 computer crash years ago … I was doing a Service Pack Update and the computer just went beserk. I called Geek Squad as it crashed, I shut it off but it did not come back. They spent a couple of hours here at the house and could not revive it.
Any more they say computers go obsolete in like 4 years. So much money for only 4 years!
I agree and I’m not sure why they changed to Windows 10 from Windows 7 … the few times I’ve turned on the new laptop to do virus updates, I feel like I’m out of my element when I open it.
