Slow Cooker Pumpkin Applesauce

By srumbel

f you are an applesauce lover, this slow cooker pumpkin applesauce is a must try. On my blog I have both a recipe for applesauce and pumpkin butter. Why not mix the two I decided! The results are great! My favorite thing to do with this applesauce is put it on buttered toast, what would you put it on?

Ingredients

• Slow Cooker Size:
• 8 medium sized Gala Apples (4 pounds before peeling and coring)
• 1 (15-oz.) can pumpkin puree
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup apple juice or water
• brown sugar to taste (add at the end, I used a half cup)
• 6-quart or larger

Preparation

Step 1

Peel, core and slice the apples. Add the apples to the slow cooker.
Add the can of pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla and apple juice.
Stir.
Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours.
When the cooking time is done stir with a whisk until the desired smoothness is desired. Add brown sugar to taste, I used a half cup of brown sugar.
Store leftovers in fridge or freezer. This is not a canning recipe.
