Best Unsweetened Applesauce Recipes
UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE
I had my mom bring down the crockpot when she visited me on parent's weekend. It makes cooking even easier, and the whole suite smelled so homey!

Steps:
- core apples.
- you may peel them if you'd like, i personally like the skins on.
- dice into bite-sizeish pieces.
- add enough water to cover about half the apples (you can always add more, but once it starts cooking it's hard to remove it, so err on the side of too little).
- add cinnamon and cloves.
- cook on high until the apples start to mush down.
- turn to low and let simmer until it seems done.
- don't forget to sample liberally.
UNSWEETENED CROCK POT APPLESAUCE
I eat a LOT of applesauce (as a side dish, for breakfast, for a snack with a piece of cheese, you name it) and it seems silly to be buying it so frequently. I'm not always able to find unsweetened kind every single time I go to the store, so I make my own when I can, the way I like it and I finally got around to writing things down last night when I made a batch. Some may prefer a little more sweet in this recipe or may need to compensate for the apples being more more tart occasionally than other times. The types of apples I use vary, but I try for 2 or more kinds, any combination except Red or Golden Delicious as these types don't seem to make good applesauce. Organic seem to be best, but the selection wasn't very good for buying for this batch, so I peeled the non-organic apples before coring and chopping because I didn't want all the wax, but peeling is not an absolutely necessary step. Throwing it all in the crock pot is so easy and makes the house smell so nice!

Steps:
- Put all ingredients in crock pot, using 1 c cranberry juice if you prefer a thicker sauce, 1 1/2 c if you like a thinner sauce.

- Cook on low for 7 hours or high for 3 hours.
- Check consistency of applesauce, adding more cranberry juice if too thick.

- Vanilla bean can be rinsed and kept for a few more similar uses.

ALMOST UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE ( HOMEMADE )
Very tasty applesauce that's easy! Why buy processed when you can make it? I often make this up and freeze in small containers to use up those apples that are just past their prime. This recipe has very little sugar in it and you can always use Splenda instead if you like.
