1.5qt Slow Cooker Applesauce

I was given a 1.5qt slow cooker for Christmas. It is tiny and cute, but I have no idea what to make with such things. I spent a while searching for recipes the other day, and I found one for applesauce! I never thought I could be so excited to make applesauce, but yes... applesauce! This is very easy to make and just cooks overnight. You can keep the applesauce in the fridge for up to 2 weeks as well. I may never buy applesauce again.

Applesauce
4 or 5 baking apples
1/4 C water
1/2 to 1 t cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 C sugar

Wash and peel the apples.I used Cortland apples.

Cut them into cubes or chunks and toss them into a clean 1.5qt slow cooker.

Pour in the water. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Add the sugar. (Cinnamon and sugar amounts are "to taste".)

Turn the slow cooker on low and let cook for 8-10 hours. I stirred it a few times. The applesauce will be chunky. If you prefer thin applesauce, smash down the chunks or use a food processor.

Enjoy!
