- 5 pounds apples – peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
 - 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
 
- Layer apples into a slow cooker. Sprinkle cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg over the apples.
 - Cook on High until apples are soft, 4 to 5 hours. Whisk apples vigorously for a chunkier-style applesauce. Puree with an immersion blender for a smoother applesauce.
