Applesauce

Saturday morning, I picked up my Bountiful Basket along with a case of tomatoes. In my basket, I had a ton of awesome fruits and veggies. Among them were 8 Braeburn apples. While I do like eating apples plain, I decided to make some applesauce with them instead. This was incredibly easy and the preperation was pretty quick. I can't say the whole process is quick because they spent 8 hours in my crock pot. I simply peeled, cored and sliced the 8 apples and put them, along with a 1/2 cup of water in the crock pot on low for 8 hours. I occassionally stirred them. After the 8 hours, I transferred them into a container and put them in the fridge. You could also add 3/4 cup of brown sugar and some cinnamon to them and let them cook for 1/2 an hour longer. I chose not to though and I just have some homemade, unsweetened applesauce. I don't think I will ever purchase a jar of applesauce again! I can hardly wait until it is the season for canning apples so I can can some homemade applesauce up.
