There are a couple of schools of thought about applesauce in the real food world. Particularly the type that is going to be Lacto-fermented. There are some who prefer to do raw applesauce to gain all of the benefits of the nutrients in the apple. But for some, raw apple is not an option.

Some people have allergic reactions to apples. Others with leaky-gut syndrome, who are experiencing less than optimal digestion may have a difficult time digesting raw apples. For those working on healing their gut, I always recommend cooking apples and pears for much easier digestion.

So I created this applesauce recipe, for those who cannot tolerate the raw. It can absolutely be Lacto-fermented after it has cooled! And it is beyond easy to do too! It will only take you about 10 minutes to get this recipe cooking in your crockpot because you will leave the peels on the apples!

I love applesauce and during the fall when apples are plentiful, it can be a whole lot less expensive as well. You know I love easy recipes! The finished product also freezes well if you want to make a large batch!

Don’t want to make a big batch of applesauce? Try these baked apples instead!
