I love applesauce. Do you love applesauce? I always come across these recipes that call for it but because I never want to open a huge fresh jar of it for just a 1/2 cup or so- I end up not making the recipe at all. Sooooo- I was thrilled when we ended up with a large amount of apples & I could make my own applesauce. I decided to use the crock pot method because it’s just so simple. I also decided to store some of it in small jars for recipe use – single serve type. Then I picked up some larger jars that I used for the rest – which can be for the kids with breakfast or lunch. Problem solved & now I can make all the applesauce recipes I want 🙂 Definitely one of my best slow cooker recipes too.
