Multicooker: Polaris, Redmond, Panasonic and others
Recipe making process
To make applesauce, we will use sweet apples, water and granulated sugar.
We take sweet apples and peel them from the peel and core. Next, cut the apples into small pieces and put them in a multicooker pan.
Then, pour water into the pot.
Add granulated sugar. If you are preparing mashed potatoes for babies, then you can’t put sugar in such mashed potatoes. On the slow cooker, set the "Baking" mode for 20 minutes. During this time, our apples will have to boil.
Grind apples with a blender or food processor. Then, pour the puree into the bowl.
fruit and vegetable puree - must-have products for children's diet. Now you can easily buy ready-made baby purees in jars, there are plenty of them on store shelves. But still, the most healthy and delicious puree is prepared by the hands of a caring mother. At the request of readers from the “ Order a recipe” section, I will show you how it is very easy to cook natural and inexpensive applesauce in a slow cooker at home, because apples are perhaps the most affordable fruits, especially now, in the season when they are local, not imported. Homemade applesauce will become for you not only a substitute for baby food in jars, but also an excellent dessert, an addition to pancakes, a filling in pies. If you are preparing applesauce for babies, it is recommended to use green apples, since they are less allergenic, like red ones.
Ingredients:
- chopped apples - whole multicooker
- water - 50-100 ml
How to make applesauce for the winter:
Wash the apples, cut out the middle with seeds, cut arbitrarily. I didn't peel the skin. Who has a lot of free time, can remove the skin from apples. I am calm for my apples, they are from my garden.
Put chopped apples in multicookers so that there is a whole bowl, apples will shrink during cooking. Add 50-100 ml of water. The amount of water depends on the juiciness and softness of the apples.
In principle, you can not add water to the slow cooker, nothing will burn in it. But this recipe for applesauce, I got from my grandmother, when they were still cooking it on the stove in a saucepan, water was a must there. Out of habit, I add now, when I cook mashed potatoes in a slow cooker.
Turn on the "extinguishing" program for 1 hour.
During this time, the apples will settle and become soft. If you want to cook more mashed potatoes at a time, you can gradually add chopped apples to the slow cooker.
After the signal, I transferred the steamed apples from the multicooker to another container and rubbed it with an immersion blender until a smooth, tender consistency. Owners of ceramic bowls can use the blender right in the slow cooker.
I again put the grated apple mass into the multicooker bowl, turned on the “stewing” program, and brought it to a boil. I literally boiled in 5 minutes. Be careful, the hot mass "flops" and splashes, you will hear the puree hitting the lid of the multicooker, so it's time to turn it off.
I immediately rolled the puree into prepared sterilized jars with metal lids. I keep jars at home room temperature. My applesauce turned out to be quite thick like this.
I did not add sugar, I had sweet Arkad apples. In more sour apples I add quite a bit of sugar, literally 2-3 tablespoons.
Apples for puree can be used in any color, any variety. The consistency and color of the finished applesauce depends on the variety and color of apples. Also, the color depends on whether the apples are peeled before cooking or not.
Adult cinnamon lovers can add this spice to the puree. Children, especially the smallest, should not add it.
Enjoy your meal!!!

Let's start cooking applesauce in a slow cooker by processing the main ingredient - apples. Two and a half kilograms of fruit must be thoroughly washed under the tap (and if there is time, it is better to soak for 5-10 minutes in a deep basin and then rinse each fruit under running water), dry it dry with paper towels, getting rid of excess moisture, and peel with a vegetable peeler ("housekeeper") from the peel. Then, using a special knife, cut out the cores with seeds and chop each apple into arbitrary medium-sized slices.
Following this, we fill the bowl of the multicooker with 120 ml of clean water, pour chopped fruits into it and, having covered the lid, set the “Extinguishing” mode on the device for half an hour. 17-20 minutes after the start of cooking, lift the lid and mix the contents to avoid burning.
As soon as the multicooker has notified the end of the program, pour the apple mass into a deep bowl, add 380 grams of condensed milk (1 whole jar) to it and, gently mixing the components with a silicone spatula, using a submersible blender, we interrupt everything into a homogeneous substance.
We return the resulting mass back to the slow cooker and, extending the “Extinguishing” program for another 30 minutes, leave applesauce for children to prepare for the winter.
While the dessert is being prepared, we will process the container for conservation - it must be carefully inspected for chips, cracks, or any other defects, discarding damaged cans, washed with baking soda and sterilized.
To speed up this process, we use microwave oven- fill each container by a third with water and put in the microwave for 5 minutes at the highest power, then drain the liquid and put it on a prepared clean towel to cool and dry. In the meantime, boil the lids in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes.
We pack the finished delicacy in prepared containers and tightly cork with sterile lids. We turn the jars upside down, wrap them up and leave to cool until the next morning.
Advice: for applesauce, it is better to choose apples of summer and autumn varieties - their pulp is not so dense and boils better.
Apple puree in a slow cooker turns out to be incredibly appetizing and tender, but its main advantage is that cooking delicacies will not take you much time and effort. Be sure to try to prepare such a dessert for your family - we assure you, it will captivate not only kids, but also adults. Enjoy your meal!
