Applesauce in a slow cooker

Fruit and vegetable purees are essential products for children's diets. At the moment, you can buy ready-made baby purees in jars without any hassles; there are plenty of them on store shelves. But still, the healthiest and most delicious puree is the one prepared by the hands of a zealous mother. At the request of readers from the “Order a recipe” section, I will show how it’s very easy to prepare natural and cheap apple puree at home in a slow cooker, because apples are perhaps the most affordable fruit, especially at the moment, in the season when they are local and not imported. Homemade applesauce will not only be a substitute for baby food in jars, but also a good dessert, an addition to pancakes, and the inside of pies. If you are preparing apple puree for a baby, it is recommended to use greenish-colored apples, since they are less allergenic than reddish ones.

Ingredients:

chopped apples - a whole slow cooker
water – 50-100 ml

How to make applesauce for the winter:

Wash the apples, cut out the core with seeds, cut as desired. I didn't remove the skin. Anyone who has a lot of free time can remove the skins from apples. I am careful about my apples; they come from my own garden.

Place the chopped apples in multicookers so that there is a whole bowl; the apples will shrink during the cooking process. Add 50-100 ml of water. The amount of water depends on the juiciness and softness of the apples.

In principle, you don’t need to add water to the multicooker; nothing will burn in it. But I got this recipe for applesauce from my grandmother, when they were still cooking it on the stove in a saucepan; water was absolutely necessary there. Out of habit, I also add it now when I prepare puree in a slow cooker.

Turn on the “quenching” program for 1 hour.

During this period of time, the apples will settle and become soft. If you want to prepare more puree at one time, you can evenly add chopped apples to the slow cooker.

After the signal, I transferred the steamed apples from the multicooker to another container and pureed them with an immersion blender to a smooth, smooth mixture. Owners of clay bowls can use a blender directly in the multicooker.

I again put the pureed apple mass into the multicooker bowl, turned on the “stew” program, and brought it to a boil. I had it boiling in almost 5 minutes. Be careful, the burning mass “plops” and splashes, you will hear the puree hitting the lid of the multicooker, which means it’s time to turn it off.

I immediately rolled the puree into prepared sterilized jars with metal lids. I store jars at home at room temperature. My applesauce came out quite thick like this.

I didn’t add sugar, I had sweet Arkad apples. I add very little sugar to the most sour apples, almost 2-3 tablespoons.

You can use any color or variety of apples for puree. The mixture and color of the finished apple puree depends on the variety and color of apples. Also, the color depends on whether the apples are peeled before production or not.

Hello, dear readers! The autumn harvest is not over yet , now I will continue the conversation about fruit preparations.

Manufacturing:

Applesauce with condensed milk for the winter in a slow cooker

We will need:

Apples – 1 kg
Water – 50 g
Condensed whole milk – 100 g

The preparation of the puree was literally the same as in the previous version, only after grinding I added condensed milk (naturally, you can add more or less of it, but I was going to make it sweeter and added about 100 g). I stirred the mixture with a whisk, brought it to a boil on the stove in the same pan, poured it into jars and closed it.

Applesauce with condensed milk is ready

Apple and plum puree in a slow cooker

We will need:

Apples – 1 kg
Plum – 200 g
Sugar – 2oo g

I peeled the plums in the same way as we remove the skins of tomatoes: kept them in boiling water for about three minutes, then cooled them under running water. I cut it in half, took out the seeds and added the plum to the apples in the multicooker bowl. I also cooked there for 20 minutes.

At the stage of chopping the fruit with a blender, I still decided to add a few plum skins for color - in the end this skin was not felt, and the color came out quite intense. In general, depending on the desired color, the plum skin can be removed or left on.

Well, the applesauce in the slow cooker is ready for the winter, now there will be something to layer the pie crusts with, add to ice cream, or just drink tea with a treat.

Bon appetit!
