Crock Pot Apple Sauce

With so many apples from our recent trip apple picking I was looking for some yummy ways to use up about 100 lbs of apples! LOL!!

All 3 of my girls love apple sauce so I knew that this was definitely something that I wanted to make. I also knew that I wanted to use my crock pot. I found a few recipes and finally decided to combine a few elements from each of them and am pleasantly surprised how well it turned it out.

Everyone really liked the way it turned out. I am even eating a bowl as I type this out. I wish I knew what kind of apples we picked. It ended up being a bit tart so I sprinkled a bit of white sugar after it was done cooking. My oldest daughter and I agreed that it tasted better the next day.

Crock Pot Apple Sauce

• 5 medium sized apples, peeled, cored and quartered
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• juice of one lemon (about 3 tbsp)

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low 4 - 6 hours. Mash apples with potato masher. Check for sweetness. Enjoy!
