This slow cooker Strawberry Applesauce recipe has been a huge hit with my kids and I love it because it’s so darn easy. I searched all over online for a slow cooker strawberry applesauce recipe that I liked and I couldn’t find one – so I made this one up using ingredients I had on hand at the time.
After I let it cool overnight in the fridge I put it into one-cup size, sealed containers to make it an easy snack.
Slow Cooker Strawberry Applesauce
Author: Heather
Recipe type: Fruit
Ingredients
- Apples – about three (3) pounds. I used a combination of Gala and Granny Smith apples.
- Strawberries – about one (1) pound, I used frozen and I didn’t measure it out exactly. I probably could have used less. If you want just a hint of strawberry flavor, use ½ pound
- Orange juice, ⅓ cup
- Brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons
- Juice from one large lemon, which came to about ¼ cup for me
- One whole cinnamon stick
- Vanilla, 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Peel apples. I didn’t do this the first time and I really wish I had.
- Cut apples into slices. The size doesn’t really matter – it will all be mush in a matter of hours.
- Throw apples into slow cooker.
- Add all the other ingredients to the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for about 8-10 hours.
It made about 1.75 quarts of apple sauce for me. I put it in fridge overnight to cool and then separated it into smaller containers for snack time.
