homemade applesauce

ingredients:  apples
                   cinnamon
                   sugar

1. peel, cut and core the apples. (i use a potato peeler and the apple corer from pampered chef...works great)

2. cut each slice in half or thirds...it depends on the size

3. place apples in crock pot. sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar to taste

4. cover and turn on. temperature setting depends how quickly you want it done.
low=6-8hours         high=4-6hours   again, the time also depends on the amount of apples.

5. when finished, place in container of choice. freeze, can or place in refrigerator.

*i stirred mine while waiting. since it was the first few times attempting this, i couldn't not see how well it was coming along. as you stir, the chunks break down...you can also wait til the end and mash it before storing. as you can see from the above jars, the color is different because of the amount of cinnamon used. it really depends on taste, but the lightest jar has NO cinnamon or sugar and tastes great...it's all personal preference. best thing about this recipe...YOUR HOUSE WILL SMELL AMAZING!!!
