Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 2 cups Strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 0.5 cups Water
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
Hull and halve the strawberries, ensuring they are clean and free from stems.
Add the apples, strawberries, cinnamon (if using), lemon juice, and water to your crock pot.
Stir the ingredients to combine them evenly.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the apples are soft and break apart easily when stirred.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth, or leave it chunky if you prefer a textured applesauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, though no additional sweetener should be needed due to the natural fruit sweetness.
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before transferring it to airtight containers.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
