Directions
Tos the apples and raspberries into your rice cooker. Sprinkle in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then add the honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a bit of water. Close the lid and set the rice cooker to the regular “cook” setting, which usually takes about 30 minutes. Halfway through, give everything a good stir and mash the apples a little to help break them down. Once it’s done cooking, let the applesauce sit and cool for about half an hour. After it’s cooled, transfer it to a bowl and pop it in the fridge to chill for at least an hour before serving.
