Apple puree in a slow cooker. How to cook applesauce for babies Applesauce in a pressure cooker for the winter
I want to say that the recipe for this apple puree is quite simple, it can be easily prepared at home. I cook in a slow cooker, which makes the whole process much easier. By the way, such a delicacy is perfect for a baby, although, I think, adults will not refuse it either!
For cooking, I take ripe apples (you can also collect fallen fruits), boiled water, sugar (optional).
Ingredients:
- 1.5 kg apples
- 1-1.5 glasses of water
- sugar as desired
Puree preparation
- First of all, I carefully wash the apples. I peel them, cut out the seeds. I cut the blanks into about 4-6 slices.
- I pour a glass of water into the multicooker bowl, set the “Extinguishing” mode for 1 hour. I wait until the water boils, and then spread the apple slices (1.5 kg). If the apples are hard, then you need to add a little more water, but if they are very ripe and soft, less, otherwise the mass will be very liquid.
- Stir occasionally to keep the apples from sticking to the bottom of the multicooker. If the slices are softened before the specified time, I leave the puree in the “Maintenance” or “Multi-cook” mode (90 ° C) for about 30 minutes. You can add sugar if you like.
- Then I beat the slightly cooled apple mass with a blender. I put the puree into prepared clean jars. I send the blanks to the microwave for 10 minutes, set the lowest power (I have 100-180). After this treatment, the puree will last longer.
- It remains only to close the jars with lids. Applesauce is ready! I keep the blanks in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your meal!
Hello dear readers! Autumn suffering is not over yet , Today I will continue the conversation about fruit preparations. Applesauce in a slow cooker for the winter is on the agenda – excellent recipes, according to which I have cooked it before, only in a regular saucepan on the stove. Now I have chosen a device that does not require constant attention to the dish and its mixing.
Applesauce in a slow cooker without sugar
We will need:
- Apples - 2 kg
- Water - 50 ml
Cooking:
The preparation of apples for all three options is the same: after a cold shower, we free the selected high-quality fruits from the peel and seeds with partitions. We cut into slices of arbitrary size.
My apples darken quickly, so I dipped them in salted water (1 tsp salt per liter of water) while cutting. Before moving them into the multicooker bowl, I rinsed them in a colander with cold water - from salt, although in general this could not be done - there was practically no salt.
2 kg of apples fit in the bowl (I have it for three liters).
Twenty minutes was enough for me. I transferred the apples from the bowl to the pan and turned them into a puree with a blender.
While the applesauce in the slow cooker was warming up for the winter, I prepared the jars: as usual, I washed them with soda and rinsed, but this time I decided to sterilize in the oven at 150 degrees for 15 minutes. I boiled the lids separately.
In the same saucepan, I warmed it up to a boil again, poured it into jars, closed it with lids, turned it over and wrapped it with a thick towel (I didn’t sterilize it additionally).
Applesauce with condensed milk for the winter in a slow cooker
The puree preparation was exactly the same as in the previous version, only after grinding I added condensed milk (of course, you can add more or less, but I decided 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 saucepan, 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 skin of tomatoes: I kept it in boiling water for about three minutes, then cooled it under running water. I cut it in half, took out the seeds and attached the plum to the apples in the multicooker bowl. I also cooked there for 20 minutes.
At the stage of chopping fruit with a blender, I nevertheless decided to add a few plum skins for color - as a result, this shell was not felt, and the color turned out to be quite intense. In general, depending on the desired color, the skin of the plums can be removed or left.
Well, applesauce in a slow cooker for the winter is ready, now there will be something to layer the cake layers, add to ice cream or just drink tea with a treat.
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 will use a microwave oven - fill each container by a third with water and put it 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.

Pour about 200 ml of water into the multicooker.

fruit and vegetable puree- Mandatory products for children's diet. Now you can easily buy ready-made baby purees in jars, there are plenty of them on store shelves. However, the most useful delicious puree- this is cooked by the hands of a caring mother. At the request of readers from the heading "" I will show 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 be for you not just 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, then green apples are recommended, as they are less allergenic than red 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 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 store jars at 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!!!
