Crockpot Applesauce


This is so yummy!  Our family LOVES it & I make a triple batch at least once a week.




Crockpot Applesauce

4 large apples - peeled, cored, & cut into quarters (I like to use a couple different varieties--usually red delicious, gala, & braeburn)

juice from 1 lemon (I use 3 Tbsp. bottled lemon juice)

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 C. water

1/2 tsp. cinnamon (I use more & I don't measure it--I just sprinkle a bunch on top)

1 Tbsp. brown sugar (optional--I don't use it)

nutmeg (the recipe doesn't call for it, but I like to sprinkle some on top with the cinnamon)



Place apples in crockpot.  Add lemon juice, water, & vanilla.  Add in cinnamon & brown sugar.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until apples are tender.  Mash with potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (we like ours to be chunky still).  Store in fridge.




*I always like to do a triple batch in my big crockpot because we go through it so fast.  The amount of lemon juice for a triple batch is 1/2 C. plus 1 Tbsp.




recipe from somewhere online...I can't remember where--oops!
