I loved this recipe! I am a big fan of applesauce and this recipe is SO GOOD! My applesauce was done within four hours of being in the slow cooker. I will say that you know the applesauce is done when it starts to have this brown tinge to it. I don’t have an apple corer so that took a bit longer to do, but overall I would say the total time it took between cutting the apples, etc. and cooking was four and a half hours. The smell of the applesauce in the slow-cooker is really amazing too.
