Crockpot Applesauce
Crockpot applesauce is an easy and tasty use for our neighbors' unwanted apples. See, for example, the kitchn’s recipe. I’ve used a small crockpot for this but they recommended a large one. You can freeze the results.
Makes 4 cups.
Ingredients
- 6–8 medium apples (3 lbs), peeled and chopped
- 1 T. lemon juice
- ½ c. water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 clove (optional)
- ¼ tsp. salt
Directions
- Mix in a crockpot.
- Cook on high for at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
Variants
You can use 1 tsp. ground cinnamon if you don’t have sticks. You can add star anise or pie spices.
The Kitchn also provides Instant Pot directions.
