Very easy recipe. Can be frozen. Cooking with the peels will add pectin and make the apples slightly sweeter as they cook.

- Depending on the tartness of your apples, you may choose to sweeten.
- If using sugar, do so sparingly until you get to desired sweetness.
- If you want to freeze ladle into freezer bags and gently press out air, seal, and lie flat in freezer.

My son LOVES strawberry applesauce!! Unfortunately I can no longer find a brand without high fructose corn syrup or gobs of added sugar so I decided to try to make my own. I used this recipe with 11 little gala apples and 2.5 cups frozen strawberries. I cooked on low for 8 hours then put it all in a colander to drain. Reserved the liquid & used my immersion blender for a few pulses. Added 2T of sugar and 2 packets of stevia and YUM! Will be freezing in 1/2c containers for lunches and snacks. Thanks for sharing!Reply

This is 5 star for me, no question. It is a useful and versatile recipe. I love anything sugar free and I love, just love to use my crockpot. I used frozen mixed berries and mashed it by fork so it is a rough puree, not a really fine one. The colour is not as pretty as if I had only used strawberries as the blueberries in the frozen mix make it a much darker colour. This made a generous amount and will be put with yoghurt and cereal for breakfasts this week. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.Reply
