Recipe: Crockpot Applesauce

Last year was the first time I ever tried to make homemade applesauce.  I found a recipe online and couldnt believe how simple it was to make!  I will be making many many batches of this applesauce for our own consumption as well as to give away as gifts for the holidays. I will also be making apple butter using the applesauce made from this recipe.

Prepare your crockpot

Core and peel 10-20 apples (this is 20 apples)

Place apples into crockpot

Add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup or 1 cup sugar and cinnamon (optional)
(I used 1/2 cup sugar)

Let simmer all day and come home to this

Stir it up and you get chunky applesauce!

If the applesauce is too runny for your liking, let it simmer for an hour or two with the lid off and it will thicken up.
