Slow-Cooker Applesauce

Ingredients

  • 12 c. chopped baking apples (about 4 lbs. of apples)
  • 1/3 to 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 2 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Peel and core apples; chop into about 1/2-inch pieces. Place apples, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in slow cooker; tossing to coat. Add water and stir. Cook until apples are tender and broken down into an applesauce texture (approximately 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low), stirring occasionally. If needed, add an additional 1/4 - 1/2 cup water part way through the cooking time. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
