Applesauce
When fall comes around, nothing is
better than the aroma of apples
cooking in the home.
Setting: Slow Cook
Makes about 4 cups
3½ pounds apples, cored and cut into
two-inch pieces (peeled or unpeeled)
2 cinnamon sticks
2 pinches freshly ground nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
pinch kosher salt
2
⁄3 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1. Put all of the ingredients into the
cooking pot of the Multicooker.
2. Cover and set to Slow Cook on Low
for 4 hours.
3. Once unit switches to Keep Warm,
remove the cinnamon sticks. If a
chunky sauce is desired, use a potato
masher to mash apples to desired
consistency. If a smooth sauce is
preferred, transfer apples to a fine
mesh strainer and press through with
the help of a ladle. Once the apples
have passed through the strainer,
discard the skins (if necessary) and
return smooth apples to the cooking
pot. Keep sauce on Keep Warm for
serving, or cool to room temperature
and store in the refrigerator.

Cooking the applesauce down with some
sugar and spices makes a delicious
alternative to your usual spread for toast.

1 recipe smooth applesauce
(previous recipe)

1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1. Put all ingredients into the cooking pot
of the Multicooker.
2. Set to Slow Cook on High for 2 hours
and cook uncovered until the apple
butter has reduced and is very thick.
3. Cool apple butter to room temperature
and enjoy on toast, stirred into
oatmeal, or on top of pancakes or

Dulce de Leche
Making your own dulce de leche is
simple and satisfying. The longer you cook it,
the richer and more concentrated the
caramel flavor gets.
Setting: Brown/Sauté
Makes about 1¾ cups
2 cans (13–14 ounces) sweetened
condensed milk
pinch kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1. Put all of the ingredients into the
cooking pot of the Multicooker.
2. Set the unit on Brown/Sauté at 350°F
to bring mixture to a boil, uncovered,
stirring frequently. Once mixture just
comes to a boil, reduce heat to 250°F
so it is at a low simmer. Keep pot
uncovered and stir occasionally,
cooking the sauce until it is a dark
caramel color and thickened, but
pourable, about 1 to 1 hour 15
minutes.
3. Switch to Slow Cook on Warm if
serving immediately, or cool to room
temperature and store in refrigerator if
using at a later time.*
