Slow Cooker Chai Spiced Applesauce
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Fruit
Ingredients
  • 8 lbs of apples – peeled cored and cut into large chunks. I did slices – because I have something similar to this Apple And Potato Peeler, Corer, and Slicer and I processed them using that to save time.
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp cloves
  • ½ tsp orange rind (I used zest)
  • 3 – 5 tsp brown sugar - Stephanie says she didn’t use sugar because she used Gala apples, which are sweet enough that the applesauce doesn’t need any extra sugar. If you’re using tarter apples might want to add sugar. I, in true form, didn’t read this all the way through and added sugar to my gala apples. It still turned out delicious.
Instructions
  1. Combine all your ingredients in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours. If you like it chunky, mash it up with a potato masher. If you like it smoother, use an immersion blender.
  2. Refrigerate and enjoy.
