Slow Cooker Peach Applesauce

by

If you’ve had your Slow Cooker packed away in the back of your cupboard all summer, it’s time to get it out!  With school right around the corner, it’s great to have some recipe ideas ready for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks that can be put together in the morning that free up a little bit of time during the day.  Applesauce is one of my favorite things to make in the slow cooker and the flavor is so much better than what you would get out of a jar from the store.  Since I had plenty of peaches in my kitchen, I thought I would blend those sweet, ripe peaches into my applesauce.  The result is a fresh tasting applesauce that your family will love.  When you make this yourself, you are able to control the sugar too.  My family loves dipping grilled cheese sandwiches into fresh applesauce.  Sounds a little strange, huh?   My grandfather always ate his grilled cheese sandwiches this way and it’s the only way I eat it!  I actually have never served grilled cheese sandwiches without applesauce.   If you haven’t tried this, you don’t know what you’re missing:)  Apples and cheese are an amazing combination!  Of course, this applesauce is also just as wonderful on it’s own.  How does your family like to eat their applesauce?  This recipe is very simple and will make enough applesauce to fill a few mason jars that can be stored in the refrigerator for a great after school snack.  If you have little ones at home, this is the perfect recipe they can help you with!

Slow Cooker Peach Applesauce

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. Golden Delicious or McIntosh apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
  • 8 regular sized fresh peaches (about 4 cups), skin removed, and chopped
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place apples and fresh peaches in your slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Pour in the water.
  4. Stir so everything is well combined.
  5. Cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
  6. Uncover, and with a potato masher, mash the applesauce until you get the consistency you want. If you like your applesauce smoother and less chunky, you can use an immersion blender.
  7. You can adjust the sugar to your own taste too!
  8. Let the applesauce cool for 30 minutes and then chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
  9. This recipe makes about 8 cups or so of applesauce.
  10. Store leftover applesauce in a large mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

      Hi Ash! I freeze this all of the time and it’s great. I use mason jars or plastic freezer friendly containers, then I just thaw overnight or in the refrigerator the day before you want to use it. Just make sure you leave room at the top of the container for the applesauce to expand when freezing:) Have a great week & thanks for stopping by!

    I LOVE this fruity combo idea! And the ease of making it too makes it so awesome. I haven’t ever tried applesauce with my grilled cheese…but you can be sure I will be!=) My ‘wierd’ combo is mayo on a peanut butter sandwich….I don’t eat it any other way either. Thanks for sharing. Found you at Skip to my Lou.

    This looks super good! Pinned for later (meaning soon, while peaches are still in season!!) I’ve never had grilled cheese with applesauce, but I might have to try it now. You do make a good point – cheese and apples are always a great combination. (Then again, what doesn’t go with cheese???)
