In an attempt to get my kids to eat apple sauce and to not allow any of my apple spoils to in fact, spoil, I thought apple sauce was in order.
You need:
8 cups of peeled and sliced and cored apples
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I would put in a bit more because I love cinnamon)
Combine everything you have in a crock pot if you own one of those foul things or in my case I used a dutch oven. On low for about an hour until the apples were soft. I think a crock pot might take many hours more. Our potato masher is on the fritz (Pampered Chef and quality - ahem) so I just used a fork until it was all a nice consistency. Wala.
Easy. Peasy.
