How to Make Easy Slow Cooker Applesauce
- Peel, core, and slice approximately 6-8 medium apples (about 6 cups) into bite-sized pieces.
- Pour 1/8 cup of water into your slow cooker. Add the sliced apples.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 3 whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir gently to coat all apple slices evenly.
- Place 2 cinnamon sticks upright against the sides of the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the apples are very soft and easily pierced with a fork, and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Turn off the slow cooker and carefully remove the cinnamon sticks.
- For a chunky applesauce, gently mash with a potato masher. For a smooth applesauce, use an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a regular blender and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
