I love applesauce. Do you love applesauce? I always come across these recipes that call for it but because I never want to open a huge fresh jar of it for just a 1/2 cup or so- I end up not making the recipe at all. Sooooo- I was thrilled when we ended up with a large amount of apples & I could make my own applesauce. I decided to use the crock pot method because it’s just so simple. I also decided to store some of it in small jars for recipe use – single serve type. Then I picked up some larger jars that I used for the rest – which can be for the kids with breakfast or lunch. Problem solved & now I can make all the applesauce recipes I want 🙂 Definitely one of my best slow cooker recipes too.

Crock Pot Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Applesauce
Ingredients
- 14 large apples I used a Jo Mac - locally grown
- 1/3 c Lemon Juice
- 1 c Brown Sugar
- 3 tbsp Cinnamon
Instructions
-
Peel, core & cut your apples into large chunks
-
Place prepared apples & all other ingredients in crock pot on high.
-
Cover & cook about 6 hours- stirring every hour or so.
-
After about 5 hours of cooking - Spoon out remaining large pieces into a blender & blend until smooth. (or use emulsion blender)
-
Pour blended apples back in crock pot, stir well & let cook the last 30-60 minutes.
-
When done- transfer to prepared jars.
-
I store mine in the freezer until the day before I need it. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
This is a deeper flavor than traditional applesauce but oh so good.

Looks so yummy and based on the recipe it’s super easy to make too! I’ll have to get the crock pot out this weekend.
