Description

This slow cooker cider applesauce recipe has no sugar added because the apples, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are sweet enough on their own.

Ingredients

5 pounds apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

1 Layer apples in a slow cooker; sprinkle cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg evenly over top. Cover the slow cooker.
2 Cook on High until apples are soft, 4 to 5 hours. Vigorously whisk apples for a chunkier-style applesauce. Purée with an immersion blender for a smoother applesauce.
