Ingredients

8 medium-sized (about 4 lbs) Apples
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 cup Water
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks. Discard the cores and peels.

Step 2

Place the chopped apples into the crock pot.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, water, and lemon juice to the crock pot. Stir everything together so that the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.

Step 5

After cooking, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash or puree the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).

Step 6

Taste and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding more sugar to taste. Stir thoroughly if you make adjustments.

Step 7

Let the applesauce cool slightly before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
