Homemade Applesauce (In the crockpot!)

One of the first things I used our apples that we got from Center Grove Orchard for was a batch of homemade applesauce.

Super easy and no added chemicals or processed ingredients that you find in store bought applesauce. Have you flipped over an applesauce container? Corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup is a common ingredient. Why the processed crap? If you buy your applesauce in stores make sure to buy the natural versions. Check those labels, people!

 

Or better yet, cut up some apples and throw em in your crockpot for a few hours! The taste of fresh homemade applesauce is so much better than the store bought varieties.
