Directions

Wash and cut each apple into quarters. Don't bother peeling or coring them.
Place 1/2 cup of water with the apples, into your slow cooker.
Add desired spices.

Cook at low for 6-8 hours.

Using a food mill (trust me, this is the best kitchen gadget you'll invest in), spoon apples and let the food mill do the rest.

Applesauce is a healthy alternative in baking (using less sugar) and makes baked good moist. Stir applesauce into yogurt or oatmeal as a healthy sweetener.

This was a great recipe. I thought I could use a blender to combine but the skins and seeds didn't puree, so I had to strain it. I'd recommend if you don't have a food mill core the apples at least. Besides logistics it was the most delicious homemade apple sauce I've ever had! - 9/23/10

This "home made" apple sauce is EXCELLENT; you don't have to watch it much except to stir occasionally. I made 2nd batch today & is just as good. Even hubby liked it, and OH the aroma in the house. Good, Good, Good. - 10/5/08

Thank you for posting your positive comments. I edited the recipe to show options for making your own apple pie spice (why buy it, when it's cheaper to make your own!)
