How to force close all apps on iPhone X

I recently switched from 7 Plus to X and I cannot find a function which I daily used on iPhones with Home button since the first generation iPhone.

Open the stock Clock app, switch to Alarms tab, press and hold Power button until slide to power off comes up, then press and hold Home button after releasing the Power button until the Clock app crashes. Where this function went in iPhone X?

I'm not sure why you were trying to get your clock app to crash daily.
