Crock Pot Applesauce

Last weekend I took my girls apple picking at a local you-pick farm. The have a blast running around an orchard. We picked about 10 pounds of apples and I'm glad that I decided to make the applesauce when I did because the apples were almost gone. It took about 5 lbs to make the applesauce.


To make the applesauce you will need:

Enough apples to fill the crockpot 3/4 the way up
1/2 cup water or cider (I used all-natural applesauce because that's what I had on hand)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar (I chose to omit the sugar)

Here's how it goes. Peel, core and cut the apple pieces into chunks. I used both golden delicious and red delicious apples. Add the additional ingredients and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low. I went with high so it would be ready by dinner. Once it is done take a potato masher and mush it into applesauce. Once it cools them store it in the fridge for up to an hour (if it lasts that long).

      Thanks! This is only the second food I've ever cooking my crock pot. I usually just use it to keeps food warm at pot lucks.
