This is so good! I made one change to the recipe, instead of water, I used fresh apple cider. The only problem I had was it had a little too much liquid in it after cooling.

I used Granny Smith apples and a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg. No need for the sugar--sweet enough. I did not skin the apples but put it through a food mill when completed. Excellent recipe!

This is by far the best applesauce I have ever had. I used a mixture of different apples after going apple picking. I used 3 Tbsp of Splenda brown sugar and about 3 generous dashes of pumpkin pie spice. Let it cook in the slow cooker on high for about 4 hours and there was no need to mash the apples it did it on its own. Going to make another batch in a day or two and try using less brown sugar. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

Very good! And super easy. May be able to use just a touch less brown sugar (depending on your taste). But very good!

Love it! Yummy with oatmeal in the morning. During the last half hour I turn it up to high and mix cornstarch in cold water and then add it to the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

This is not good at all!! Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it's hard to do a slow cooker the wrong way. I peeled and thinly sliced 5 apples and put them in at 10 this morning - it's now 11:30pm and they're still not done!! I've put in some lemon juice to speed up the 'mushing' process... I'm hoping it works so I can go to bed :P Sorry... maybe I'm just a noob, the recipe really does sound delicious but I think I'll try it on the stove top next time.

10 Stars! This was amazing! I used 3 different kinds of sweet apples, so I left out the sugar entirely. I mixed cinnamon and nutmeg into a 1/4 cup of water and threw that in right at the beginning. Woke up this morning to the smell of warm apple pie... I put a few spoonfuls over my oatmeal at breakfast and it was heaven!

Excellent. I was so excited to make this recipe and it did not disappoint. It was delicious. I thought it was just a tad tart because I used Early Gold apples, some of the first of the season. May use half gala and half tart apples like another reviewer. Thanks!

I used very soft and very very tart freshly picked apples from a local orchard... AMAZING RECIPE!! Agree with other reviewers re: sugar -- but I used MORE because I used tart apples..... I also cut into cubes to give it a chunky appearance.... Used just cinnamon and used a LOT of it because that is the way we like it.... DEFINATELY A KEEPER!! Have NEVER made applesauce in slow-cooker... this is the way to go, easy, simple, no fuss and smells DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for this delightful recipe!

This was an excellent way to end dinner! I poured the cooked apples and spices into a pan, sprinkled a yellow cake mix (just the box) on top, and drizzled with 1 stick butter. Cook for 45 min. at 350 and it was like apple cobbler.

Wow, I loved this and my hubby too. The hardest part was the prep work of the apples. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice or allspice so I did the cinnamon, nutmeg and clove mix. This will now be a part of my Thanksgiving meals!

It was very tasty. I used Pumpkin Pie Spice II from this site for the pumpkin pie spice, and next time I will probably cut back on the cloves as it just isn't a flavor I enjoy in applesauce. This recipe worked out very well with Gala apples that had gone mealy or "soft" on me, but I added more water than the recipe said to. I won't do that again--it didn't need extra water! I used less sugar--maybe half to 2/3 less sugar than it called for (because Galas are a very sweet apple, and you can always add more at the end, but once you add it you can't take it back!) and it was fine for us.

Since the recipe did not specify which apples to use I tried a variety (about 4 flavors; 2 apples of each). That way if some were too sweet others would balance them out. I added no water and yet 7 hours later I had made apple soup. Far, far too watery to be applesauce. Also, the end result was too sweet to be edible. I tried again later with a different set of apples, less sugar, and more spice and got the same result: too sweet and watery.

Too much spice for me. I don't know what it was, maybe the nutmeg in the pumpkin pie spice? But it was way too strong. Next time I think I'll add my own individual spices. The texture was good, though.

Love this recipe. Using sweet apples such as Fuji's and Jonagolds, we found we didn't need much brown sugar...1 Tablespoon was plenty. The kids happily eat this any day of the week. The smell in the kitchen while cooking is amazing.

Absolutely delicious! I used pink lady apples and still used all the sugar called for in the recipe, so mine was pretty sweet--but that was how I wanted it. I put this in apple bread and it came out *amazing*...I'm convinced it was because of this applesauce. The one change that I made was that I cut the apples into smallish chunks instead of slices, since I wanted little bits of apple to be distinguishable in the bread. I took the advice of some other reviewers here and used the Pumpkin Pie Spice II recipe from this site, which worked out wonderfully. Overall, this recipe was easy, cheap, and *very* tasty. Thanks for sharing, A.S.G.!
