Crock Pot Applesauce
What you need:
10 pounds tart, crisp "pie" apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (Jonathan or Harrelson work well)
1/4 cup brown sugar or pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon nutmeg
What you do:
1. To apples, add sugar or maple syrup, flour, and spices. Mix well to coat.
2. Dump into crock pot and set on high. After approximately 1 hour, turn setting to low.
3. After about 4 hours, stir the applesauce. It should have cooked down to a nice, chunky applesauce consistency.
Good with grilled or roasted vegetables or for breakfast or dessert!

SO HOW'D IT GO?
What is the flour for?
I found that it helped to absorb the water released by the apples. but, I just added it as I went, not all at once, since I was afraid of lumps.
Fantastic!! Made this today with a bag of about-to-go-bad apples- macintosh, i believe- and mmmmmmm!!!! My house smells wonderful!!!
