  • Peel and core the apples: Use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples. You can also use an apple peeler/corer to make this task easier.
  • Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to make applesauce because it allows the apples to cook slowly and evenly. This results in a smooth and flavorful applesauce.
  • Add spices and flavorings: Feel free to experiment with different spices and flavorings to create your own unique applesauce recipe. Some popular additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your applesauce will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
