A couple of years back, I posted an easy crockpot applesauce recipe. Since it’s apple season, I made it yesterday and am reposting today. Children will ask for a second helping, so double the recipe.
Crockpot Applesauce
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds apples, peeled, cored and sliced (about 6 medium apples–your favorite)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
Place the peeled, sliced apples into the crockpot bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the apples and mix well. Pour the water into the crockpot and place the lid on top. Cook on high for four hours. (Mine took about 2 1/2 hours).
When cooking time is up, remove the lid and mix the apples using a wire whisk, stirring until smooth.
Allow to cool completely then place in a sealed container in the fridge.
Whether you visit an orchard or have your own backyard apple tree, children will have loads of outdoor autumn fun filling a basket with apples.
Enjoy!
