Ingredients
Scale
- 6 lbs apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (such as Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed (or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free option)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the chopped apples in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
- Add the water, brown sugar (or maple syrup), cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the slow cooker.
- Stir well to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the apples are very soft.

- Stir in the lemon juice.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of granola for a satisfying snack or dessert. For a smoother applesauce, blend for a longer period of time. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
