UNSWEETENED CROCK POT APPLESAUCE
I eat a LOT of applesauce (as a side dish, for breakfast, for a snack with a piece of cheese, you name it) and it seems silly to be buying it so frequently. I'm not always able to find unsweetened kind every single time I go to the store, so I make my own when I can, the way I like it and I finally got around to writing things down last night when I made a batch. Some may prefer a little more sweet in this recipe or may need to compensate for the apples being more more tart occasionally than other times. The types of apples I use vary, but I try for 2 or more kinds, any combination except Red or Golden Delicious as these types don't seem to make good applesauce. Organic seem to be best, but the selection wasn't very good for buying for this batch, so I peeled the non-organic apples before coring and chopping because I didn't want all the wax, but peeling is not an absolutely necessary step. Throwing it all in the crock pot is so easy and makes the house smell so nice!

Steps:
- core apples.
- you may peel them if you'd like, i personally like the skins on.
- dice into bite-sizeish pieces.
- add enough water to cover about half the apples (you can always add more, but once it starts cooking it's hard to remove it, so err on the side of too little).
- add cinnamon and cloves.
- cook on high until the apples start to mush down.
- turn to low and let simmer until it seems done.
- don't forget to sample liberally.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape well and have a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
- Peel and core the apples: Peeling the apples is optional, but it will give you a smoother applesauce. Be sure to core the apples to remove the seeds and stems.
- Add spices and flavorings: You can add a variety of spices and flavorings to your applesauce to taste. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can also add a little bit of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to brighten the flavor.
- Cook the applesauce on low heat: Cooking the applesauce on low heat will help to prevent it from burning and will allow the flavors to develop.
- Stir the applesauce occasionally: Stirring the applesauce occasionally will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the crock pot.
- Puree the applesauce: Once the applesauce is cooked, you can puree it using an immersion blender or a food processor. This will give you a smooth and creamy applesauce.
Conclusion:
