Homemade Slow Cooker Apple Sauce

October 26, 2014 By Sara

Slow Cooker Apple Sauce @ninjakitchen #slowcooker #nationalapplemonth

October is one of my favorite times of the year.  It is fall and the temperatures start to cool off.  Harvest (normally) is going strong, apples are ready to be picked, my garden (normally) is done, yard-work is coming to a close, and I get to start making soups and other “fall/winter” foods that we don’t normally eat when it’s warm outside.  It also seems like it’s the start of the 3-month long holiday season.  Crazy!

October is also National Apple Month.  Our two apple trees had some apples on them this year, but they weren’t  the best looking.  That hail storm that came through on June 3rd did some damage to the apples, but they still taste great!

Cooked apples

My whole family likes homemade applesauce and last year I shared the two different ways that I make it and then freeze it to eat all year-long.  Well, this year, I did it in my Ninja Cooking System and it was so easy!  I basically filled it up with apples, tossed on the rest of the ingredients and let it cook for a while!  I only stirred it occasionally, I didn’t have to worry about scorching the bottom like I do when I cook it in a large pot on the stove.  This was so easy!  And my house smelled amazing all day too!

Freezing apple sauce

During the year I save my sour cream, Cool Whip, and other plastic containers to freeze the apple sauce in.  They work perfectly for that!  I just label them and then place them in the freezer for use throughout the year.

Here’s a list of the other apple recipes on my blog and also the US Apple Association has some great recipes.  What’s your favorite thing to make with apples?
