Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (any sweet variety, such as Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into 1-inch chunks.
Step 2
In the crock pot, combine the chopped apples, ground cinnamon, sugar (if using), lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Stir the ingredients gently to ensure the apples are evenly coated and the cinnamon is well distributed.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the apples are soft and tender, mash them with a potato masher for a chunky texture, or blend them with an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
Step 6
Taste the applesauce and adjust sweetness by stirring in additional sugar if desired.
Step 7
Let the applesauce cool slightly before transferring it to airtight containers for storage.
Step 8
Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
