This is not only the best applesauce I've ever made - it's also the best applesauce I've ever eaten! Wonderful recipe, and so easy. One word of caution though, I used my apple peeler/slicer/corer to prepare the apples and the slices come out thin. The applesauce was fully cooked and getting ready to burn after 1 hour, 45 minutes. If you use one of these gadgets (mine is from Pampered Chef), watch the cooking time.

Funny, the only way I can think to describe this applesauce is rich...not normally how I would EVER describe applesauce, but there it is! I used half Granny Smiths and half Cortland apples. I also could not resist adding dried cherries to this as my DH is into the flavored applesauces. It took less than the 3 hours to cook and I also "whirled" mine in the blender for the smoother texture my family loves. My favorite kind of cooking here...minimal ingredients, minimal effort...maximum taste!

Excellent applesauce! I used Jonathan apples instead of Granny Smith because that's what I picked at the orchard. After cooking them in the crockpot, I put the mixture into my blender until it was the consistency I wanted. My kids loved this and had it for breakfast this morning! Thanks!

The first time I made homemade applesauce, I made it on the stove and not only burned the whole batch, but ruined the pan as well! The second time I made it, I used this recipe and it was PERFECTION. I added a touch of nutmeg but otherwise made it exactly as shared. Love it and will be making it for years to come. Thank you!

Mirj, Perfection, I doubled the recipe 7 lbs. of Granny Smith apples. I chopped them quite fine left the skin on. I sprayed the apples with Debbie Meyers organic Produce Wash eliminates bacteria, fungi and that waxy feel and requires no rinsing I just let them dry before slicing. I used my waterless cookware other than that I put the pot on very low heat for 4 hours done to perfection I maybe stirred the apples while they cooked 4 - 6 times did not use the potato masher they were just great the way they were. I got 2 quarts of applesauce the taste was fabulous the only thing I added was a itsy, bitsy, tiny dash of cloves! Thank you for posting Mirj.

This was great! I needed to use up some McIntosh apples -- I got excited and bought way too many -- so I decided to try making applesauce for the first time. I just peeled, cored, and sliced, then threw them in the crockpot with a little lemon juice and probably only 1 Tbsp of brown sugar. It was done in only two hours. It was definitely sweet enough without all the extra sugar. Can't wait to eat it for snacks and use it in baking.

I'm rating this again cuz I pushed the button before could say anything. :) We loved this. I used Golden Delicious and increased the cinnamon to 1/2 t. as suggested. I didn't read close enough and added the cinnamon with the apples right at first, and it turned out great. Easy, wonderful, and a hit with the family

The best and easiest homemade applesauce. Does it get any easier than this? Pealing the apples is the only "work" involved.

This was thick, rich and delicious! I don't normally care for applesauce and neither does the rest of my family, but this was gone in an instant. I increased the cinnamon to 3/4 teaspoon. I have 4 trees that are covered with apples, I will be making a lot of this!

My gf's daughter (11 years old) decided , after getting a peeler/corer/slicer gadget, that she wanted to make her own applesauce, so we gave this recipe a try. Wonderful! Thanks, Mirj! We're even considering canning a ton of this.

This was delicious! I used a variety of apples from a gift basket, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. I had planned to freeze the leftovers, but I don't think there are going to be any. DS declared this "better than Chili's" cinnamon apples. Thanks for sharing!

Yum...and easy too. I used quite a bit more cinnamon. I also used bottled lemon juice, which was a little too bitter. Will be using fresh next time.

This is great tasting sauce. I fixed mine with pears that I had from my pear tree. It turned out just wonderful. Will use this recipe from now on. Thanks for posting such a fantastic recipe.

I can't begin to describe how flavorful and delicious this applesauce is. I made this for a fall-themed pot luck luncheon at work; I received many rave reviews for it! I prepped my apples ahead of time so that I could prepare it fresh that next morning and had no problems. I used the granny smiths which made for a very tart applesauce. I accompanied this with Best Apple Cake (Best Apple Cake) which was sweet, offsetting the real tartness. I would probably opt for other apples in the future. although, I did warm it up and eat it with friendly's french vanilla ice cream: AWESOME! :) great find - thanks!

I am burning my tongue licking the spoon as I type. This is excellent applesauce! I just used gala apples (I think). They needed to be used up. I was probably about 2 lbs. I keep the rest of the portions the same, and sprinkled some nutmeg in with the cinnamon. I swirled it around in my food processor a couple times, and it ended up perfect! I was going to try and freeze this, but now I don't think it will make it that long! :)

There isn't much I can add to the existing reviews - this is fantastic! It couldn't be easier. I used my food processor instead of a potato masher. Yummy!

If I would have cooked this on high for 3 hours it would have been a burnt mess. One hour on high was plenty. It smelled like it was almost starting to burn. The taste was very good! I did a batch with peeled apples and one without peeling the apples. The peeled batch turned out very smooth, the batch with peel had chunks of peel that made the taste not as good, I'll be using the blender on this batch. Overall the taste is great! Thanks!
