Slow Cooker Applesauce
Ingredients
- 8 apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced. Your choice on variety - a mix is best!)
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cups packed brown sugar (use less if you're using a sweeter apple!)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice*
Note
Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of spices often used for... you guessed it: pumpkin pie! Consider saving a used spice container and mixing your own blend for use whenever it calls for it in a recipe. Here's how to make it:
Sift 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves. Store in a sealed container.
