I love making applesauce. It is one of those things that just makes your house smell so inviting. The warm spices create such a welcoming environment . I get it started in the slow cooker at night so my family wakes up to the glorious smell of apple pie.
The apples will soften pretty quickly. The lemon slices add a nice acidity that brings the whole sauce together
The apples are in the cooker for about 2 hours at this point. At this point of the process your whole house smells AMAZING!
When your apples look like this you can take them out and start to make your sauce. If you want a more chunky sauce you can use a whisk. For a smoother sauce you can use a blender
Ingredients
- 5 pounds of apples cut small with skin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 slices of lemon
Directions
- Place ingredients in a slow cooker and set on high for 4-5 hours
- When the apples are cooked down, place in blender to desired consistency
