Chunky Crockpot Applesauce

With the start of the cooler weather and the busier season, I have been using my crockpot several times a week. I love the convenience of making things ahead of time and coming home to a warm meal. I also love smelling the food throughout the day.

This applesauce is so easy, and a great way to let the kids "help."

Wash, core and chop 6-8 apples into bite-sized chunks.  You can peel them at this point, but I prefer leaving them on to get the most nutrients out of them.  Put them into the crockpot and sprinkle with about 1 tsp. of cinnamon.  Cook on low for several hours, until apples are tender.

It really tastes best warm, but is great cold too.  If you'd like to add a bit of honey or a sprinkle of sugar you could, but we love it just like this. Mmm.....

    Thanks for sharing. Applesauce is one of my favorites. As a kid I use to eat applesauce and bread together. I would make sandwiches out of it. BTW, I like your recipe.
