Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium-sized (about 4 lbs) Apples
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks. Discard the cores and peels.
Place the chopped apples into the crock pot.
Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, water, and lemon juice to the crock pot. Stir everything together so that the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
After cooking, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash or puree the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Taste and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding more sugar to taste. Stir thoroughly if you make adjustments.
Let the applesauce cool slightly before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
