Homemade Applesauce (No Sugar Added)
This Homemade Applesauce (No Sugar Added) comes together easily in the slow cooker with just 4 simple ingredients for a healthy and delicious snack. It can be served either warm or cold, but I prefer it warm, reminiscent of a fresh apple pie.

Notes
- Hint: To adapt this slow cooker homemade applesauce recipe for the stovetop, simply add the ingredients to a large pot over medium heat, simmer, stirring occasionally until they soften, about 20-30 minutes. To make this in a pressure cooker, add the ingredients to a pressure cooker, seal the pot, and set it to high pressure for 8-10 minutes. Naturally release the pressure for a few minutes before quick-releasing the remaining pressure.
- For a smooth homemade applesauce, use a food processor, blender, or immersion blender to effortlessly puree the cooked apples to your desired consistency, resulting in a velvety smooth texture.
