Containing no refined or added sugars, this crockpot recipe is about as "whole foods" as it gets. Plus it's about as "hands off" and easy as it gets too.
Ingredients
Instructions
Put the apples and ½ cup of water into your crock pot, then cook on high for 3-4 hours, until it reaches your desired consistency.
While the applesauce cooks, check on it at least once an hour to give it a good stir. If it begins to look dry, add an extra ¼ cup of water.
Once finished and cooled, spoon the sauce into jars or let it cool and store in any container. This recipe makes about 1.5 quart jars of applesauce.

Notes
I don’t understand how this is healthy with more than 50g of carbs and 38g of sugar. Seems like this makes apples an unhealthy choice if fruits.
Apples contain carbs, which can raise blood sugar levels. However, the fiber in apples helps stabilize blood sugar levels, in addition to providing other health benefits. It’s also low in fat and calories. The sugar content varies based on the type of apples you use. We made a mistake with the nutritional data on the sugar. It’s closer to 22 grams of sugar per serving. That is still very high for one serving. We don’t recommend eating a lot of applesauce and aside from babies and children, most people don’t. Instead, eat an apple. Apples (and applesauce) are a good source of fiber, vitamins (C, B and E) and copper. We recommend using applesauce in smoothies, and as an ingredient in baked goods and salad dressings.
