I have a recipe for homemade applesauce in the crockpot. I have not tried it with less sugar though. Now that I am trying to lose weight though I will need a low sugar version.

I usually use 6 -8 medium apples, cored, peeled and sliced thin. I put them in the crock with 1/2 C water, 1/3 C sugar (I use raw) and about 2 tsp of cinnamon. Cook on low 6 hours, then mash with a potato masher. It makes a chunky sauce that I like. You don't have to use the cinnamon, but I like the taste.

It makes the house smell real good. I have not checked the amount of calories or carbs that would be. It makes a pretty large batch for our family.

Good luck, sorry I wasn't of more use,

Apple Strudel
Golden raisins and crisp McIntosh apples make up the filling in this strudel dessert recipe. Store-bought phyllo dough makes prep easy and yields a delightful flaky pastry.


YIELD: 8 servings (serving size: 1 (3-inch) slice)
COURSE: Desserts, Pies/Pastries
Ingredients

4 ounces day-old French bread or other firm white bread, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons butter, divided
5 cups finely chopped peeled McIntosh apples (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
Cooking spray
Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

Place bread in a food processor, and pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1 1/4 cups.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add breadcrumbs. Cook 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Combine breadcrumbs, apples, sugar, raisins, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; toss to combine.

Lightly coat each of 4 phyllo sheets with cooking spray, placing one on top of the other. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing gently to seal the sheets together; discard plastic wrap. Spoon 3 cups apple mixture along 1 long edge of stacked phyllo, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold short edges of phyllo to cover 2 inches of apple mixture on each end. Starting at long edge with 2-inch border, roll up jellyroll fashion. (Do not roll tightly, or strudel may split.) Place strudel, seam side down, on a jellyroll pan coated with cooking spray. Repeat the procedure with remaining phyllo dough, cooking spray, and apple mixture.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter, and brush over strudels. Bake at 375° 25 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack 20 minutes before serving.

Caramel-Apple Crumb Pie
This Caramel-Apple Crumb Pie is a variation on the classic apple pie; it has a rich caramel syrup drizzled over the apples and is topped with a crunchy streusel.


YIELD: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
COURSE: Desserts, Pies/Pastries
Ingredients

Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon ice water
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Butter-flavored cooking spray
Filling:
1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
9 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apple (about 2 3/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Topping:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup fat-free caramel sundae syrup
Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

To prepare crust, lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 1 cup flour and salt in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons butter and shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time; add vinegar. Toss with a fork until moist and crumbly (do not form a ball).

Press mixture gently into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, to a 12-inch circle. Freeze 10 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.

Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Fold edges under; flute. Line bottom of dough with a piece of foil; arrange pie weights (or dried beans) on foil. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until the edge is lightly browned. Remove pie weights and foil; cool on a wire rack.

To prepare filling, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon. Add sugar mixture and apples to skillet; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in 3 tablespoons flour and lemon juice. Spoon into prepared crust.

To prepare topping, lightly spoon 1/4 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Drizzle syrup over apple mixture; sprinkle topping over syrup. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool on a wire rack.
