I picked up a 1/2 peck of Ida Red Apples. I chose those because it says it's good for eating, cooking & baking. They are a pretty red and large. Large apples means less peeling.
Here is my recipe for apple sauce in a crock pot. Makes the house smell good all day!
Ingredients:
- 8 medium apples (Use a combination of Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp, Fuji, Gala, etc.)
- 1 strip of lemon peel - use a vegetable peeler
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 inch cinnamon stick (1 teaspoon of ground)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar (unpacked)
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeded
- 1/2 stick of butter
- 1/3 cup Fresh Apple Cider (juice or water)
Peel, Core and Slice the apples then add to your crock pot.
Add all of the rest of the ingredients, stir and cook for 6-8 hours on low.
Stir apples occasionally, apples will slowly become a delicious applesauce. Remove cinnamon sticks, lemon peel and vanilla bean. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth or if you prefer a chunky sauce, leave sauce intact or try a potato masher.
