Slow-Cooked Applesauce

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. water
• 8 to 10 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cubed
• 1 to 2 T. lemon juice
• 1 to 2 T. dark brown sugar, packed

Preparation

Step 1

Pour water into a slow cooker. Add apples; drizzle with lemon juice. Cover and cook on low setting for 6 hours, stirring after 2 hours. Applesauce should be a chunky consistency after 6 hours. If a smoother consistency is preferred, spoon applesauce into a food processor and purée as desired. Stir in brown sugar to taste.
