Ingredients
-
Slow cooker
~12 apples (I use Gala and Granny smith to get a good variety, choose ones you like, but you aren't adding sugar, so you want sweet ones)
~ 3 Tbs imitation vanilla extract (you can use real vanilla extract, but since your cooking, the flavor would me significantly lost, so save yourself the money if you don't care about it too much)
~1 tsp ground cinnamon (to taste, but i don't care for it so much)
Directions
Peel, core and dice your apples. The smaller the chunks, the smoother your sauce will be.
Place in a slow cooker and and your vanilla, stirring to get the flavor distributed. Don't worry too much, it'll cook through regardless.
Cover it up (just make sure the lid is on good and tight) and set it to high. Walk away from it for 3 hours. No joke, don't go near it.
After it's had time to cook (3 HOURS!) you can finally stir it. I use a potato masher because I can't stand chunky apple sauce, but if you like it chunky, just take a wooden spoon and stir for a bit until it meets your needs. Somewhere in there, add your cinnamon and stir.
Now you can store this in the fridge for up to a week without worry, but if you can't finish it all, think about canning it. I'm not sure how it freezes, but try it. Or, feed it to a baby, a friend, and neighbor, a stranger. You could also cut the recipe in half. Or in quarters. Or, just make a few apples for dessert, start it in the morning before you leave for work on low instead, and it'll be there for you when you come home.
