I love making applesauce! I know exactly what's in it, no preservatives, and it freezes well!
I recently purchased a dehydrator, and I needed a first project. I had some of my applesauce in the freezer, so I decided on fruit leather. It turned out great, but I'll save that process/story for a other post. Back to the applesauce......
Ingredients:
Apples, chopped into chunks
Cinnamon
Sea salt
Water
Directions:
Place enough water to barely cover the bottom of your crockpot. You don't want the apples to stick.
Place your apples in the crockpot. Add a sprinkle of sea salt and a bit more than a sprinkle of cinnamon. If I had to guess, I'd say 1/4 teaspoonful of sea salt for a large crockpot and 1/2 to a full teaspoonful of cinnamon. It's really your preference.
Cook apples until fork tender and kind of mushy. Place contents of crockpot into a blender, and blend until it looks like applesauce! VOILA!
