Recipe Tips
- To store the applesauce in the cupboard, you will need to seal it in a jar correctly first. This handy guide will take you through the steps to correctly store the sauce in a jar so that it is sterilized. If done correctly, the sauce will last a lot longer and can be stored in the fridge or cupboard.
- You do not have to peel the apples. The most significant difference is the texture as you will have bits of apple skin in your sauce.
- If you prefer things to be more on the sweet side, simply increase the amount of sugar to half a cup. You can probably go up to a cup, but to be safe, I would stay at half a cup. On the flip side, you can just leave the sugar out altogether.
- Do not puree the apples if you want chunky slow cooker applesauce.
- Reduce the time by half and turn the slow cooker to high if you need to cook this faster.
