Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds apples, Cortland or MacIntosh work well
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Wash, core, and slice all of your apples into 1/2 to 1 inch slices. Leave the skin on for nutrition, color, and less waste.
  • Place the apple slices into a 4 quart slow cooker. Add water and cinnamon to the pot and stir with a large spoon to coat apples with cinnamon.
  • Set slow cooker to low for 6 hours or high for 2 hours.
  • When done cooking the apples will be very mushy. Simply stir them to get the apples to break apart and form the sauce.
  • Blend right in the crock pot with an immersion blender to puree the skins.
    Chunky: blend for just 5 second increments until desired texture
    Smooth: blend for about 30 seconds
  • Makes about 1 quart (4 cups). Serve warm with more sprinkled cinnamon and nutmeg. Store leftovers in a Mason jar in the refrigerator for 1 week, or freeze in bags for up to 6 months.
