Ingredients

  • 3 medium gala apples
  • 3 medium fuji apples
  • 3 large granny smith apples
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 teaspoons brown sugar, lightly packed (either dark or light will work)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon/lime juice
  • 1 - rind from the lemon/lime

How To Make brown sugar & cinnamon applesauce

  • Step 1
    Wash and peel the skin off of all the apples.
  • Step 2
    Use an apple corer or slice apples and remove core by hand, then chop apples up into bite size pieces.
  • Step 3
    Add all of the chopped apples to the crockpot (should fill to the top)
  • Step 4
    Pour the fresh juice over the apples then sprinkle the cinnamon and the brown sugar over the apples. Give a little stir with a spoon. Place lemon rind on top of the apples and cover with lid.
  • Step 5
    Cook apples on high heat for approximately six hours, stirring at least once every hour. (Note: make sure lemon rind stays on the top so it doesn't burn. It will give off a very bitter taste)
  • Step 6
    Apples will begin to bread down on their own after about 4 hours. Depending on the consistency that you like, use hand masher for a chunkier texture, a hand blender for a smoother texture.
