Crockpot Rich Cinnamon Applesauce 🍁🍎

For this recipe, I made a small batch. The written ingredients make roughly 9oz of apple sauce. If you’d like more, double the recipe! See my additional comments at the bottom for other recommendations.

Ingredients:

•6 Apples (I used honeycrisp)

• 1/2 cup Brown sugar*

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/2 tablespoon Lemon Juice

• 1/2 cup Water

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• (optional) very small sliver of butter

Directions:

1. Remove skin from apples and cut into small pieces. Place into slow cooker.

2. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to slower cooker.

3. Cover the apples in 1/2 cup water, 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice.

4. Cook on high for approximately 4 hours or until apples are soft and mashable.

5. Once cooked, very carefully stir. You can mash with the back of a ladle or use a whisk until it is the consistency you want. For an even smoother applesauce, you can slightly blend it with an immersion blender (be VERY careful as the applesauce is hot).

6. Optionally, add a small sliver of butter (roughly 1/4 of a tablespoon) to the applesauce and mix. This will make the flavor even richer!

7. Eat warm or cold. Keep stored in refrigerator. Enjoy!

Additional notes: You can use any type of apples for this! Some are sweeter than others. I just used honeycrisp because they’re my favorite apple. If you’re looking for a lighter tasting apple sauce, you can substitute half of the brown sugar for white sugar.
