Are you ready for fall? Start out fall right with this Slow Cooker Pumpkin Applesauce!

If you are an applesauce lover, this slow cooker pumpkin applesauce is a must-try. On my blog I have both a recipe for applesauce and pumpkin butter. Why not mix the two I decided! The results are great! My favorite thing to do with this applesauce is put it on buttered toast, what would you put it on?

I add pumpkin spice flavors to this applesauce, even the vanilla. The size of the apple slices isn’t too important, as long as the lid is kept on they are going to soften up.

How to make Pumpkin Applesauce:

To the apples, I add pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla, and apple juice.

Stir to combine.

Below is what the applesauce looks like after cooking for 5 hours on high, this recipe would do fine on low for 8 hours if you need more time. When the cooking time is done, I use a whisk to break up the apples. I then add brown sugar to sweeten, add the sugar to taste.

I store the leftovers of this applesauce in the fridge. It doesn’t last long in our house. If you need to store extra, I suggest freezing it. This is not a canning recipe.

      Hi Sarah, this just came across my feed and I can’t wait to try it. It looks simple and delicious! I have to monitor my sugar intake . Could you use sugar-free brown sugar substitute in this recipe? Thanks!

        Yes, that will work great. Just use it sparingly, it can be very sweet compared to real sugar.

      I plan to dip my potato latkes in this!!!! Since you never can find pumpkin flavored applesauce and will the pumpkin butter recipe go good on oatmeal?

        Yes, and you will need to add a sweetener of your choice at the end. It will need something. Pumpkin is very plain tasting.
