Fresh Homemade Applesauce

I LOVE FALL!!! I bought a big bag of Empire apples at Fairmount Orchard on Signal Mountain this week and wanted to make Lauren some yummy applesauce :) Enjoy!

Ingredients:
Apples - I used around 12 small Empire apples
Water
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Cinnamon - Optional
1. Core apples. Cute into chunky pieces and place in a crock pot.
2. Cover 1/2 of the apples with water. It's important not to cover the apples or they will turn out super watery. You can always add water later if you need to.
3. Cover apples with 1/4 cup of sugar
4. Add as much cinnamon as you would like
5. Cover and cook on low heat 3-4 hours. Just check on them during the cooking process to see how soft they are getting.
6. When they get soft, just mash them up to the consistency that you like. Serve warm or cold....yummmm!

  1. Did you cook these in a crock pot?? I just made applesauce a few weeks back for the first time, and it was sooo yummy. A crock pot would be a nice, easy way to make up a bunch!
