This is my picture of Homemade Applesauce. REAL...apples...no preservatives...real.
I made it in a crock pot, so it's not the way the pioneers would have made it, but it's the way today's mommy's would make it. Super easy & super delicious!
Crock pot applesauce
6-10 medium size apples-I used granny smith apple & braeburn*
1 c apple juice
pinch of salt
2T sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
Core, peel & cut apples into chunks. Dump in your pot, pour apple juice over apples & sprinkle salt, sugar, & cinnamon over apples. Cook 4-5 hrs on low. Smash w/ a potato masher for a chunkier sauce or with an emulsion blender for a smoother sauce.
*The recipe that I adapted this from said not to use either of the apples I used. Not sure why but my boys LOVE Granny Smith apples & it turned out perfect.
