Brown Sugar Cinnamon Applesauce
recipe adapted from A Year of Slow Cooking
8 apples, peeled, halved and cored, I used honeycrisp apples
Juice from one lemon or the equivalent amount of lemon juice concentrate, no more than 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon water
Place
your apple pieces in the crockpot. Add lemon juice, water and vanilla,
sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on top. Toss to coat thoroughly.
Cover
and cook on low for approximately 6 hours. When the apples are very
tender, mash them with a potato masher or a fork until they are the
consistency you desire. I like to leave a lot of chunky pieces in the
sauce. If you are in the mood, you can even try this.
