Today I made applesauce in the crockpot- a recipe I got from Diane and it was INCREDIBLE! I will be making this all the time. It was so easy, and so much better than store-bought, and doesn't have any garbage in it like high fructose corn syrup. Here is the recipe from Diane:
- 8 to 10 large tart apples (Macintosh or granny smith) cored, peeled, and cut into chunks *I used about 6 Honey Crisp and 2 Golden Delicious as that's what I had in the house
- 1 cup sugar *I used more like 3/4 cup
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon *I didn't measure, just dumped some in
Combine apples, sugar, water and cinnamon in a slow cooker; stir gently. I also added a splash of lemon juice. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until apples are tender. (I cooked them 1 hour on high and 3 hours on low because I started them later in the day, and I think my crockpot runs hotter than it's supposed to so things don't need as long to cook.) At the end of cooking time I mixed them well with a whisk to mash them up. I would recommend using less sugar than called for because you can always add more at the end of the cooking time if necessary. You can eat this hot or cold!
