Well hey there! Long time no… talk? I feel like we've had some silence between us while we were on vacation last week and I am happy to be back in the blogging saddle once again.
Crockpot Applesauce.
- 12 to 16 apples (peeled and cored)
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 5 tablespoons of rapadura or sweetener of choice (optional)
- Peel and core the apples. I used a hand peeler.
- Dice up the apples into 1 inch pieces. No need to be precise.
- Combine all the apple chunks and the optional cinnamon, lemon juice, and sweetener in your crockpot. Cook on low for 6 hours.
- After the cooking period, simply use a potato masher or wooden spoon to stir the apples and break up any leftover chunks. If you want a completely chunk-free applesauce, you could easily use a hand-immersion blender to smooth it out.

Do you ever can this applesauce? I am planning to make some soon, and I’d like to waterbath can the extra since it will take me a little bit to eat it all by myself. When I’ve canned applesauce in the past (without cinnamon, lemon juice, or sweetener) it was a 15 minute processing time, but with the extra things added I’m not sure if there is a different processing time..
