Hey kids! Fall is here! And with it, my canning ancestors' spirits are stirring my soul! Crock Pot Applesauce, anyone??
I got a great deal on some Gala apples yesterday and spent my late night me time peeling, coring and dicing 20 small apples. You could use 10 large apples instead.
All I had to do then was dump the apples, liquid and spices into my handy, beloved Crock Pot and then wait for morning!
I awoke to something amazing!! The fragrance, the feelings, the taste! I ran it all through the blender and then helped myself to a cup of warm, delightful applesauce! I'm thinking a dollop of cool whip would certainly be an appropriate addition!
My version of the recipe:
20 small gala apples, peeled, cored, diced
1 c Apple Juice (from concentrate)
Ground cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice to taste. I was pretty generous.
1/4 to 1/3 c honey
8-10 hours in the crock pot. Run through blender or use immersion blender when done cooking.
Now I just need to get the canning gear ready!! I'm going to have to leave a bit in the fridge for myself though...... :)
