Applesauce in the crock pot

I've been posting lots of dinners and some people still haven't tried them all.  I figured I would post something different.  Once I found out that some applesauces had high fructose corn syrup, I started making my own. Sooooo easy

Applesauce in the crock pot

Ingredients
1) 12 apples
2) 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
3) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4) 1/2 cup water


Direction
1) Peel and core apples and cut into chunks
2) Place apples, cinnamon, vanilla and water into crock pot
3) Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours
4) Depending on how chunky you like your applesauce, you can either mash it with a fork or put it in a blender.  I use this Hand Blender and do it right in the pot.

This recipe can be changed however you like.  If you like it a bit sweeter, you can add some brown sugar or use apple cider instead of water.  I sometimes add nutmeg too and ALWAYS add more cinnamon.  It's my favorite!
