Have you ever wondered how to make applesauce? Here’s a recipe for delicious, homemade spicy applesauce that will make your house smell like autumn as it simmers in the crock pot!

16-20 medium apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
1 cup tart apple cider
1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

I love fresh applesauce and so do my twins! I love your recipe. I have a bunch of apples that I need to use and I this is the perfect recipe for them!

This looks delicious. I love applesauce, especially in a crock pot. 🙂
thanks! enjoy, and thanks for commenting 😉
Thanks I am gunna try this tonight. Mmmmm.maybe not ginger though is it strong tasting…?
hello there! thanks for stopping by. no, it’s not really strong tasting…spicy like spice cake or pumpkin bread 😉 enjoy!
how many pint jars will this make and how long will it last? Does it need to be refrigerated or is it shelf stable?
thank you
Hi Jo! 🙂 Because this recipe makes a slightly different amount every time due to apple quantity and size, I can’t give you and exact number of canning jars that it will fill. What I can tell you is that it makes approximately 6 to 7 quarts (it fills a 6 to 7 quart Crock Pot.) So… there are 2 pints in a quart… So by that approximation you’d have 12 to 14 pints. I hope that approximate measurement helps. XOXO ~M
Hi yes thank you -that answers part of the question. After thinking about it I doubt it is shelf stable but do you know how long it will stay good in the fridge and is it freezable? and if so how long will it stay good in the freezer. Thanks so much. Jo
Yes, please comment as to how many pint jars this makes s we love it and would like to make more than 1 or 2.
Thanks much!
Hi Mary,
As I told Jo (in the comment above) It’s never an exact measurement… I can tell you it will make approximately 12 to 14 pints 🙂 Hope that helps! XOXO ~M
I am going to make this! sounds as YUMMY as my Lays Cinnamon Bun Chips!
I am one in four of Lays Do Us A Flavour chip finalists, and I was looking for something,
to eat with my cinnamon bun chips and I think this is one of the yummies I will try!
