Slow Cooker Cinnamon Applesauce

Ingredients

  • Apples: 8 medium-sized (Honey Crisp)
  • Brown Sugar: 1/4 to 1/3 cup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon (or more to taste)
  • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon (optional for flavor)
  • Water: 1/2 cup

Directions

  1. Place the peeled, sliced apples into the bowl of your crockpot. 
  2. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apples and mix well.
  3. Pour the water into the crockpot and place the lid on top.
  4. Cook over high heat for four hours. 
  5. When cooking time is up, remove the lid and mix the apples using a wire whisk, stirring until smooth, or until desired consistency is reached.
Notes
  • To store, allow the applesauce to cool completely then place in a sealed container in the fridge.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a cinnamon stick or a strip of lemon peel during cooking.
  • You can experiment with different apple varieties for unique flavors.
