Slow-cooker applesauce comes together easily, given the appliance's even heat, which transforms sliced fruit into soft homemade applesauce with little more prep than it takes to peel and slice the fruit.
Ingredients
- 6 pounds apples (about 18 medium), peeled and sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instruction
- In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the apples, sugar, water, salt and cinnamon. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.
- Turn off heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Mash if desired. Serve warm or cold.
