- 3 pounds of Apples peeled, cored and sliced
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
- sugar, brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten if desired
Add apples and water to the crockpot, cover, and cook on high until apples are fragrant and soft, about 1 hour.
Taste the apples and add sweetener, if desired.
Add cinnamon and stir to combine. Cover and turn crockpot to low and continue to cook for several hours.
Roughly mash with a potato masher and keep it chunky, or purée the applesauce in a food processor, immersion blender, or food mill for a smoother sauce.
Makes about 4 cups. Refrigerate the applesauce and enjoy within a week, freeze for up to 3 months, or water bath can for longer storage.
