Crockpot Applesauce

honey (plus additional to taste)

pumpkin pie spice*

lemon (divided)

Peel

Core the apples and cut into 1 ½-inch chunks. Leave the peels on or peel the apples if you’d like a lighter-colored sauce or are using an apple with a firmer skin like Granny Smith (see blog post above for more details). Place the apples into a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.

Add the honey, cinnamon stick, and pumpkin pie spice. With a vegetable peeler, peel off a small strip of lemon peel (be careful not to get too much of the white pith, which is bitter). Add the peel to the slow cooker.  Save the rest of the lemon for another use.

Cook

Cover the crock pot, and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the apples completely break down. Stir the apples occasionally while the sauce cooks.

Blend

Remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce until smooth (or run the sauce through a food mill, which will remove some of the skins, or purée the applesauce in a blender in batches, being careful as hot liquids will splatter). Taste, and add additional honey if you’d like a sweeter sauce. Let cool, and enjoy!

I love your recipes!

A real winner and easy. I have now used this recipe 3 times.  I have an apple tree that produces a lot of fruit.  My family loves.  Prices is even better because I have a friend who exchanges lemons from her tree for apples and blueberries that we grown.  I do add about 1 1/2 tablepoons of sugar because we like it a bit sweeter.

Applesauce to the Rescue!

I needed to prepare foods for my teenage daughter recovering from stomach and digestive issues.  I was looking in my pantry and making a shopping list. Applesauce was on my but I had all the simple ingredients to make it. So I came across your recipe with pictures and decided to give it a quick go before  heading off to the market. I chilled it before serving and it was just what Dr Mom needed.  I put this in my digital recipe book and emailed a copy to my daughters. 
Thank you for cooking and sharing with love👩🏽‍🍳❤️!

Outstanding and so simple. I've now made two batches this week. No reason to ever again buy it in a jar. Though there is no sugar, this was sweet enough for a dessert.

I have a very silly amount of homemade applesauce left over from last year's canning extravaganza; I would love some recipe ideas on how I could use it up!
