Crockpot AppleSauce

Crockpot Applesauce

10-12 apples (medium to large in size)

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon.

Core your apples and cut into chunks...really any size chunks will do. You can peel the apples first if you like but I don't cause if you cook them in the crockpot the skins mostly dissolve. Plus, why not get a little more fiber into your diet!?! Mix your apples chunks, sugar and cinnamon together and pour into your crockpot.

Add the water and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5. You may need to mash up the apples a little depending on how chunky you want it!

This is super yummy served warm with vanilla ice cream or of course just as lovely served cold as is!
