Tell me you don't want to grab a spoon and dive right in this cute little mason jar!
My sweet Aunt bought over some sorely disappointing apples, really they hardly should have been called apples, more like little orbs of mealy mush. I'm not sure what variety they were, maybe a macintosh or gala?
Here's the disgustingly easy recipe for homeade applesauce in the crockpot (more on my love for my crockpot later, that's a whole blogpost in itself, maybe two blogposts.....)
Cinnamon Spiced Applesauce
12 C McIntosh apples, cored, peeled and sliced
1/2 C sugar
1 C water
1 T. lemon juice
1/2 t. cinnamon
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook for 5-7 hours on low setting, Makes about 6 cups.
*I just realized that the recipe said 12 C, I read it as 12 apples, oops! Well, the secret's out, it worked perfectly! I thought 1/2 C sugar wasn't very much for a whole crockpot of apples, but you could actually reduce it a bit, not that the sweet applesauce wasn't delicious.
