Difficulty: EASY
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 3-4 honeycrisp apples
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 c water
- Optional: 1 tbsp sweetener, a squeeze of lemon juice
Directions:
- Peel the apples, and roughly chop them up.
- Throw them into a greased slow cooker with the cinnamon and water. Add more water if you like a thinner applesauce.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 8 hours, taking a minute to mash down the apples halfway through the process.
- When they are done, you can easily mash more with a fork or potato masher, or leave it chunky like I prefer. Serve warm for the real experience, and store the extra in the fridge.
