Crockpot Applesauce

Luke and I went grocery shopping today and in order to fit all the new, fresh food IN the fridge, I needed to clear OUT the old, not so great anymore food.  I found 6 apples that were still kinda ok, but they needed used up.......so I made Crockpot Applesauce.  I found the recipe a couple years ago on the website A Year of Slow Cooking.  I've made it numerous times since and it's super yummy, super easy, and makes the house smell WONDERFUL!

"This makes enough for 4 people. If you would like to freeze or can, use more apples.

--4 large apples, skinned ,cored, and cut in quarters
--juice from 1 lemon
--1/2 tsp cinnamon
--1 tsp vanilla
--1 T brown sugar
--1/4 cup H20

The Directions.

I used a 4 quart crockpot for the applesauce.

Skin, core, and cut your apples into quarters.Plop the pieces into your crockpot. Add the juice from the lemon, and the water. Pour in the vanilla (I used imitation--we were out of the good stuff), and add the cinnamon and brown sugar.

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. When the apples are super tender, mash with a potato masher or large fork. My apples were very tender after 6 hours, and I used a fork."
