Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 8 large apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
- ½ cup filtered water
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract or paste (optional)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and place on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours until the apples are fork tender.
- Next, mix with a wire whisk (or potato masher) to mash the apples until you get your perfect consistency.
- Let the applesauce cool completely then place in an airtight container in the fridge. Makes 3 to 4 cups.
Notes
I love using Honeycrisp apples for this recipe, but a mix of sweeter apples will work just fine.
This recipe will keep well for a week in the fridge, and can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
