But perhaps one of the tastiest ways to enjoy apples is to transform them into a homemade applesauce using your slow cooker. Check out this super simple, no sugar-added applesauce recipe that’s as easy as (apple) pie!

Ingredients:

  • 12 medium red apples (any flavor but the sweeter the apples, the sweeter the sauce so Gala, McIntosh or Honeycrisp are all great options!)

  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Remove the core from your apples then slice them in quarters (do not peel!)

  3. Cook on low for about 3-3.5 hours
