Crockpot Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce

I love this recipe, so I'm posting it here so it doesn't get lost. It is currently written on 2 post-it notes stuck to the inside of my recipe binder. Not a safe place. I got this recipe from my friend Lauren (you'll notice lots of recipes from her on this blog!). It is super yummy

Crockpot Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce

5 medium Gala apples
2 medium Granny Smith apples
2 medium Honeycrisp apples
fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 C water

Peel, core, quarter, and slice apples. Place all apple pieces in a large bowl. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over them and stir. Add sugar and cinnamon. Pour water into the bottom of a large crockpot and add apples. Put the lid on the crockpot and turn on. Cook for about 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high. Stir occasionally.

Once the applesauce is cooked, you can puree or blend it for a smoother texture. Keeps in the fridge for a week. Can be frozen.

Makes 4 cups
