Number Of Ingredients 5

8 - 10 large apples, cored, peeled and sliced. You can use a variety of apples or any of your favorites. Sweet, tart, doesn't matter.
1 cup white sugar - optional but I always love a little extra sweetness in my applesauce.
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice.
1 1/2 cups water or apple juice

Steps:

  • Toss all items into the crock pot. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. When apples are mushy, mash up with a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency.
