Homemade Crock Pot Applesauce

Finally uploading this post! .......

My brother has this amazing crab apple tree with hundreds and hundreds of apples! It's amazing and I love that tree. I want it at my house. So I took the kids there to pick some more bags of it so I could make some applesauce! You can use applesauce for more than just a snack...you can use it on pork chops, in baked goods, on breakfast foods, or just a side dish! Granted, you are going to need to sugar these up a bit, they are still healthier than applesauce you buy in stores with high fructose corn syrup and artificial coloring.

Ingredients:

Apples, sliced (I didn't peel mine)
2-4 tbsp of Lemon juice
Sugar or Brown Sugar
Cinnamon

Directions:

-Cut up apples into sections and place in crock pot.
-Add lemon juice to cover the bottom of the crock pot.
-Cook on low 4-6 hours until apples become soft.
-Mash them with a potato masher.
-Add sugar and cinnamon to taste.
-Serve warm or refrigerate/freeze for later.

Enjoy!
