3 Ingredient Crockpot Applesauce
This easy to make homemade applesauce recipe is made in the crockpot. Using just 3 ingredients: apple, sugar and cinnamon, this delicious applesauce recipe will be your fall favorite! This is the perfect fall snack to make with kids.
Equipment
- 1 Crockpot
- 1 Apple peeler or a small, sharp knife
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 3 pounds apples I used Granny Smith + Gala
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg optional
Instructions
- Peel, core, and cut your apples into 1/8 inch slices. You can use a sharp knife to do this, or an all in one kitchen and apple corer.
- Place the chopped apples into the crockpot. Sprinkle the cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg over the apples and add water. Cook on high for 4 hours.
- Stir the apples with a spoon until a smooth consistency is formed. Enjoy!
Notes
- For quicker prep time, skip the peeling of the apples- the applesauce will just be chunkier!
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender.
- Cook on low setting by extending the cook time to 7-8 hours.
- Any type of apple will work for this recipe: sweet apples will give a sweeter flavor, while tart apples will lend a more sour flavor to the applesauce. I like to use a mixture of both!
- Adjust spices to your personal preference as desired- you can add more cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, or even try pumpkin pie spice.
