EASY SLOW COOKER APPLESAUCE
I came up with this recipe after I had bought too many apples for me to eat before they started getting soft. I didn't want to waste them or my money so I used what I had in my house for spices and poof! Out came this recipe. You can really use any kind of apple you want, Mac's are usually less expensive than most other kinds of apples. The coriander and lemon juice add great brightness to the apples. I like to eat it plain, but it's great stirred into hot cereal, or on top of your favorite vanilla ice cream with a little caramel sauce on the side, it tastes like an apple turnover! I know that the spices seem minimal, but they add such a great flavor that's not overpowering.

Steps:
- Peel, core, and slice apples into bite sized pieces.
- Pour 1/8 C of water and apples into the slow cooker.
- Add salt, maple syrup, cloves, coriander, ginger, and lemon juice and stir so all apple slices are coated.
- Place cinnamon sticks so that they are sticking into the container on three sides.
- Turn the slow cooker on low and let cook for 6-7 hours or until the apples are very soft to pierce and most of the liquid is evaporated.
- Turn off the slow cooker and take out the whole cinnamon sticks. For a chunky texture, mash with a potato masher, for a smooth texture, put into a food processor/blender or use an immersion blender until you reach the desired texture.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help the applesauce cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Add some spices: A little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger can help enhance the flavor of the applesauce.
- Don't add too much sugar: Applesauce is naturally sweet, so you don't need to add a lot of sugar. A little bit of honey or maple syrup can help balance out the tartness of the apples, if needed.
- Cook the applesauce on low heat: This will help prevent the applesauce from burning and sticking to the pot.
- Stir the applesauce occasionally: This will help prevent the applesauce from sticking to the pot and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze.
Conclusion:
Making applesauce in a slow cooker is a great way to enjoy this delicious and versatile fruit. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that the whole family will love. Applesauce can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be used in a variety of recipes, such as pies, cakes, and muffins.
