1/3cupunsweetened apple juice or white grape juiceor water
1teaspoonlemon juice
1teaspooncinnamon
Instructions
Peel the apples (optional). I don't peel the apples, because I like keeping the extra fiber in the applesauce. Plus, I use an immersion blender so the peels are unnoticeable. However, if peels bother you, then you can remove them.
Slice up the apples, and place them in the crockpot. I can usually fit 8 apples in the crockpot at a time, and it makes almost 2 quarts of applesauce.
The next step is to mix the apple juice or water with the cinnamon and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Then, pour the mixture over the apples and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours.
Notes
I love using Granny Smith apples for this recipe. I know Granny Smith is a little more sour than other apples but it gave the crockpot applesauce a really nice flavor without being too sweet like a lot of applesauce is.
