A week or so ago, I had a crock pot party on my facebook page to celebrate 6,000 facebook fans.
What wonderful recipes were shared!!
I pinned a bunch of them away on my Pinterest Boards for later, but this one, I couldn’t get out of my mind.
I love the ease of throwing everything in the crock pot in the morning, and it being ready after the hustle and bustle of a crazy day!
I was really looking forward to my fellow bloggers sharing things you don’t usually associate the crock pot with, things like desserts, or APPLE SAUCE!!
Real Food Outlaws shared this recipe for crock pot applesauce.
I made it the next weekend in one crock pot while a batch of my Beef and Barley Stew Cooked in the other.
It was so good, they gobbled it up and I made it again that following week, while ribs slow cooked away, the apple sauce did the same.
Yield: 1
Crock Pot AppleSauce
This applesauce is so simple, peel and slice the apples, toss them in your crock pot with a lemon peel and cinnamon sticks, and 5-6 hours later, you have warm cinnamon applesauce!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 6 hours
Total Time 6 hours 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 10-12 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2-4 cinnamon sticks (I started at 4, and have decreased to 2 - 2 is plenty for this amount)
- 1/4 of a lemon's peel
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core and slice 10-12 apples. If your apples are really small, use more.
Place apples, cinnamon sticks and lemon peel in the crock pot.
Drizzle with the lemon juice.
Set pot to low and cook about 5-6 hours.
Remove cinnamon sticks and lemon peel.
Using a hand blender (or regular blender works, too) blend apples.
I thought it was pretty good warm, my kids preferred it cold.
