This recipe is sure to be a big hit with your family. My kids claim that it tastes just like apple pie. My favorite thing about this applesauce recipe is its simplicity…2 ingredients!
I use 6 pounds of apples whenever I make this recipe because I figure if I am going to make it I might as well make a bunch, but you can easily make a smaller batch. When I make this recipe I put some of the applesauce in the refrigerator and I vacuum pack the rest of it with my Foodsaver (that I bought at Costco years ago) and put it in the freezer.
INGREDIENTS
6 pounds organic apples organic cinnamon to tastePeel the apples, quarter them, and remove the core. Dice the quartered apples into 3-4 pieces each. I make this whole process even easier by using apple peeler/corer like THIS one and then quartering the peeled and sliced apple. Place the apple pieces into the crock pot. Sprinkle desired amount of cinnamon onto the apples (I use about 2 Tbs.).
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for about 6. Once the apples are tender, mash them until the applesauce reaches the texture you prefer (we like it a bit chunky).
This applesaucee is good on its own either warm or cold. I personally love to have it for dessert with granola sprinkled on top (click HERE for one of my favorite granola recipes)!!!

oh yum I have wanted to try homemade applesauce for awhile now, this looks soo easy!
Gret, this was ridiculously easy and the kids LOVED it! We threw the peeled apple skins on a baking sheet and made “chips”, which Memphis has claimed for herself. My crock pot is pretty hot, so we were good to go in 4 hrs. I loved it… Thank you!!
I’g glad the kids liked it…great idea to bake the apple skins! I am going to have to try that next time.
