Author: Jane and Sonja

Equipment

  • Blender or can an electric masher, such as a hand blender

Ingredients

  • Apples
  • Cinnamon 1/2 tsp for every apple

Instructions

  • Wash and slice whole apples with skin on and place in a slow cooker. Discard the apple cores.
  • Use as many or as few apples as you want filling the slow cooker. This will depend on how much apple sauce you wish to make.
  • Cook for 8 hours on low heat.
  • Place softened apples in a blender and blend just enough to make an apple sauce texture.
  • Pour blended apples to a large cooking pot and place on the stove top. Add cinnamon and mix. Cook over medium heat for one hour.
  • Place in sterilized jars or if only making a small batch, place in a sealed container and store in the fridge to enjoy within the week.
  • If canning the apple sauce, cover jars with sterilized lids and place back in the oven for 30 minutes to hour and 220F to help seal.
  • Sauce has to be hot when it goes in the jar.
