Crock-pot Apple Sauce

Remember my post about Cal eating the "not-so-good" apples from our tree?  Well, we decided to try one since Cal was enjoying them..daily.  And they were delicious.  Not the dry, mushy apples we tried 2 months ago.

So we made apple sauce.

I followed this recipe, but changed it for the second batch.

Here's the recipe I'll follow next time:

9 cups peeled, sliced apples (maybe 3 lbs)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup water
juice and pulp from 2 lemons

Peel, care and slice apples. (I used an apple peeler, corer, slicer.) 9 cups was the MAX capacity of my crock-pot.
Mix apples, cinnamon, water and lemon juice (with pulp).
Pour into crock-pot.
Cook for 6-8 hours on low heat or 3-4 on high heat, stirring occasionally.
When done, mash with potato masher or fork.

Yield 3-5 cups apple sauce (I didn't measure, so it's a guess.)

I froze the apple sauce in ice cube trays for easy and small servings.

Taste test: my picky eater, Callen loved the sugar-free, warm apple sauce!
