Applesauce.

We got a good deal on apples and I decided (Crockpot) applesauce was in order!! Super Duper easy to do!!!
Peal and core the apples, put them in the crock pot until they are soft. I did 5 pounds at a time in the crock pot. You can add cinnamon if you want but nothing is "needed"......just apples!!

The picture is 30 pounds of apples MINUS the one we ate before we took the picture ;)
