The Chirping Moms

A Very Easy Way To Make Your Own Applesauce

October 22, 2013

Quick & Easy Apple Sauce : The Chirping Moms
Yup, it’s that simple: A crock pot, some apples & cinnamon!
One of my mom’s favorite recipes is her homemade applesauce. She makes it every Thanksgiving. I like to make it for my girls, but dinner time is usually hectic in our house & i’m just happy I find time to make them healthy meals. Making applesauce takes time & you have to watch the pot, etc. I decided to try making applesauce in my “best pal” the crock pot. Now I make it all the time!
I can put it into the crock pot (with Maggie’s help) while Alex naps. It’s ready to serve the girls at dinner time & then still delicious when Tom & I eat later on. Also, it stays in the fridge for a few days.
How To Make Crock Pot Applesauce
Ingredients:
MacIntosh Apples
Cinnamon
Optional: butter & sugar
Directions: Peel & slice all of the apples. Make as many or as few as you’d like (between 5-20). Turn crock pot to high. Stir occasionally. Once the apples start to break down, add cinnamon to taste. Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours.
The optional ingredients are butter & sugar. You can add a tablespoon of butter in the crock pot before you add the apples, but it’s not necessary. Also, if you don’t think it’s sweet enough, add a tablespoon or 2 of sugar, again probably not necessary. Make sure to use MacIntosh apples for this recipe.
For peeling & slicing the apples, I highly recommend the Apple Mate 3 or something like it. The picture makes it look pretty scary, but it’s easy to use & really speeds up the process! It’s great for apple sauce, apple pie & also for making thin slices for the kids to snack on. I’ve had this one for years, so maybe there is something new/ less scary looking, but this one does the trick!

I slice the apples, & my little assistant puts all of the ingredients into the crock pot. A few hours later, we have homemade applesauce!

    I'm jealous of your Apple peeler, slicer thing. Of course I have no where to store it, but I still like it! 🙂
    Thanks for linking up today!

    What a great idea! I am our apple peeler! lol I wonder if leaving the skins on apples would be like the skins of potatoes are the most nutrient rich part…Thanks for linking up at our Pinterest Pin Up Party and please come back next month
