Ingredients

To make the red hot applesauce recipe you will need a few things.

• Apples (about 10 medium-large apples will work)
• Water
• Brown Sugar
• Red Hots

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Wash and rinse the apples.

Step 2: Peel and core the apples.

Step 3: Remove the skin of the apple.

Step 4: Place the slices in the crockpot first.

Step 5: Next add a 1/2 cup of water, followed by a 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Step 6: Place slow cooker on high heat for about 3 to 4 hours.

Note: Stir the applesauce mix every 30 minutes or so.

As it cooks the apples will slowly start to break down.

Step 6: After about 3 to 4 hours it will start to look like a very chunky applesauce.

Step 7: Stir in the red hots and turn to low heat. Allow to sit for about 15 minutes.

Step 8: You can either leave your applesauce really chunky or use a food processor to get it to the desired consistency.

We like our really smooth, so I placed it in a food processor.

I love that I can easily make my family homemade applesauce that we can serve all year long. It is so much better than store-bought and we are saving money.

Storing the Applesauce

There are a few different ways to store the applesauce. You could can the applesauce to make it shelf-stable.

If you don't have canning supplies you can either eat it in a couple of weeks or freeze it to save for later.

I store my red hot applesauce for the fridge in my small canning jars and then I use the larger quart containers for freezing.
