Ingredients

  • 10 apples more or less depending on the size of your crockpot!
  • Juice from 1 lemon optional
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Optional: Squeeze the juice from one lemon and place it off to the side.
  • Peel, core, and cut your apples into chunks.
  • Place the apple slices into your crockpot.
  • Optional: Pour your fresh squeezed lemon juice over the apple slices.
  • Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apple slices.
  • Pour the water over your apple slices.
  • Take a large spoon or rubber scraper and mix it all together.
  • Place the lid on the crockpot and put it on set to the HIGH setting. Allow it to cook down for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Once your apples are cooked down to a very soft texture, take a potato masher and mash it all up to your desired consistency OR ladle your softened apples into a blender and blend them to a texture of your liking.
  • You are all done! Ladle your applesauce into small individual containers, reusable pouches, or into a large container and store it in the fridge to enjoy with your family!

Notes

  • Stirring occasionally is a great way to check on how your applesauce is cooking!
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon to taste.
