Slow Cooker Nectarine Applesauce is sweetened with apple juice instead of sugar for an easy and healthy treat!

This week I made this beautiful Slow Cooker Nectarine Applesauce. Applesauce is one of the best things to make in the slow cooker. I love how I can throw the ingredients in slow cooker in the morning, and in the evening it’s all done. All I have to do is stir and I have healthy snacks recipes all week long.

I made this sugar-free by sweetening with apple juice instead of sugar. I was a little wary that the apple juice wouldn’t sweeten this sauce enough, but it came out awesome! The texture of the nectarines turned out a little chunkier than the apples, which is great because the nectarines have a pop of sweetness and great flavor. I had planned on freezing some of this, but every time I opened my fridge I ladled out myself a big bowl until it was gone!

Try it, you’ll like it! I promise! 🙂 It’s one of my family’s favorite from my collection of best crock pot recipes!
