Learn how to make applesauce in your slow cooker with just a few simple ingredients. Made without any extra sugar, this is the best way to preserve apples and enjoy all year long.
Layer sliced apples in the bowl of a slow cooker. Pour in the water and lemon juice.
Add in the cinnamon sticks, salt, and ground nutmeg. Stir to combine.
Cook in high heat setting up to 3-4 hours, or in low heat setting for 5-6 hours. Depending on your slow cooker the timing might be slightly different so keep a close eye after the 3-hour mark. I also recommend giving it a stir a few times during the cooking process.
Transfer the now-softened-apples into a high power blender (such as Vitamix) and puree until smooth. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender, but it might take longer for it to be completely pureed.
Let it cool completely and then divide it amongst jars.
