How to Make Sugar Free Crock Pot Strawberry Applesauce

  1. Wash and chop 2 pounds of apples (leaving peels on for added pectin). Hull and slice 1 pound of strawberries.
  2. Combine the chopped apples and strawberries in your crock pot.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
  4. Once cooked, carefully transfer the applesauce to a food mill using a slotted spoon. Process the applesauce over a large bowl to remove any skins or seeds.
  5. The sauce will likely be thick. If desired, add a bit of the cooking liquid from the crock pot to reach your preferred consistency.
  6. Taste the applesauce. If needed, add a touch of a sugar substitute (like stevia or erythritol) to adjust sweetness according to your preference. Start with small amounts and taste frequently.
  7. To freeze: Ladle the applesauce into freezer bags, gently press out the air, seal tightly, and lay the bags flat in the freezer for easy storage.
