It really does not get much easier than this!
Fill a crock pot with chopped apples- big bite size. Add:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 T lemon juice
1 T cinnamon
Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, just until apples start to break down and mash easily when stirred. Then, transfer to a blender and combine for a just a bit; seriously it's a matter of seconds. Just until the apple sauce is fairly smooth. Serve warm or let chill in the fridge for later.
Welcome to our family recipe collection. Many of these recipes have been favorites through the generations, but I'm always eager to add more as additional recipes become family favorites too. The traditional recipes here have withstood the taste tests of time, but the newer- cleaner- gluten free recipes I keep posting are every bit as delicious. Enjoy!
I had no idea applesauce was so easy to make. My mom has a million apple trees. So, as soon as they are ready to be picked (which will be very soon) I will try this. Does the apple peel give it a weird texture at all?
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn! Nope, the apple peel does not give the apple sauce a weird texture one bit. Just saves a lot of time in peeling! I will tell you that I make apple sauce without the brown sugar and cinnamon if I plan on using it in baking recipes. :) We just like to add the good stuff when we're hoping for a nice treat to eat all by itself.
