With all the apples we had around and not enough time to eat them all, I decided to make some slow cooker applesauce. I also threw in some cinnamon since I prefer cinnamon applesauce. You can easily experiment with a variety of different seasonings. I'm thinking I want to try apple pie spice next! Also, just a quick note about the texture - we like it chunky, so I don't bother peeling or pureeing. If you prefer a smoother texture, you could puree the apples before or after cooking. Using a few different varieties of apples helps give your applesauce an extra depth of flavor. Pink Lady's are some of my favorites!

ReplyDeleteNever heard of spicy applesauce before, but now that I'm thinking about it, maybe some warm spicy applesauce sounds good on a cold, winter day! :)

ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy! It's a great way to use up all those apples if you're like me and always buy too many. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never made chunky applesauce. Sounds super tasty and nice change from regular applesauce.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the best parts of making your own! You get to switch it up any way you like. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks good! I love applesauce and this is definitely something I need to try and make here at home! Thanks for sharing and linking up with us over at Welcome Home Wednesdays Link Party.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can go back to store bought apple sauce after making my own! It's so much more flavorful, and you can customize it anyway you want. :)
