### **How to Make Applesauce in a Slow Cooker (with or without a Peeler)** ### **Preparing the Apples** * Wash and core the apples. You can peel them if you like, but it's not necessary. * If you don't have a peeler, you can use a paring нож to remove the skin. * If you're using a slow cooker with a removable crock, you can place the apples directly in the crock. If you're using a slow cooker without a removable crock, you'll need to place the apples in a large bowl first. ### **Adding the Other Ingredients** * Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples. * You can also add a little bit of salt, if you like. * Stir the apples and spices together until they are evenly coated. ### **Cooking the Applesauce** * If you're using a slow cooker with a removable crock, cover the crock and cook the applesauce on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on **HIGH** for 3-4 hours. * If you're using a slow cooker without a removable crock, cover the pot and cook the applesauce on **HIGH** for 3-4 hours. * Stir the applesauce every few hours to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the crock or pot. ### **Serving the Applesauce** * Once the applesauce is done cooking, let it cool slightly before serving. * You can serve the applesauce warm or cold. * Applesauce is a great addition to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It can also be used as a topping for desserts. ### **Conclusion** Applesauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover apples. So next time you have a few extra apples on hand, give this slow cooker applesauce recipe a try. You won't be disappointment.
