Applesauce has never been so easy to make! If you have a slow cooker, some apples, and a few common pantry ingredients, you’re all set to make a fall side dish that you’ll want to make all year long.
Hi! I’m Alli from Cupcake Diaries and I’m excited to be here sharing a tasty slow cooker dish for Slow Cooker Sunday. My slow cooker and I are pretty good friends. We see each other multiple times a week for dinner and sometimes dessert. Recently we used a bunch of beautiful apple tree apples to make a delicious applesauce right from the crock pot. I used to be so intimidated by making applesauce. But my good from the slow cooker changed my mind about that! I won’t make applesauce any other way.
I love making applesauce because the apples don’t need to look perfect when you chop them up. After you peel and core them, you can roughly chop them so they’re not all the same. No fancy knife cuts here! I added cinnamon to my applesauce and fell in love with the flavor. I already can’t wait to make this again!

Is the 1TBSP sugar supposed to be the cinnamon?
I think you’re right Robin. I updated the recipe.
