A friend just passed on this wonderful recipe. You've got to try it...especially if you are like me and have lots of apples right now. It's applesauce made in the crockpot.
Spiced Apple Sauce
12 Cups pared, cored, sliced cooking apples
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup cinnamon
1 Cup water
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
freshly grated nutmeg, optional
Put apples in a slow cooker. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Mix with apples. Stir in water and lemon juice, and nutmeg, if desired. Cover. Cook on low 5-7 hours, or high 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours. Stir for a chunky sauce. if you like a smoother sauce, just keep cooking it. I usually freeze this in plastic containers.
