Ready for Fall?
Here’s a simple recipe that will make your house smell amazingly like the best of Fall! Since preschool is only 2 days a week, I wanted to do something fun with my little guy on his day off.
Not going to lie, I have Fall on the brain. And apple cinnamon is my favorite Fall smell! Plus, c’mon apple picking is a fun activity for the kiddos. So perfect mommy and me fun day!
Preparation
In order to make a whole Crock-Pot worth of applesauce, you’ll need a half bushel of apples.
- First, soak the apples in a sinkful of water and a capful of Thieves fruit and veggie soak.
- Peel and cube apples. (I toss all my scraps in a bowl to compost later.)
- Toss cubed apples in large Crock-Pot with 4 cups water, TBS. Cinnamon, and sugar if desired. (I prefer mine with no added sugar.)
- Cook on high heat for 6 hours, stirring occasionally. You can turn the heat down if it begins bubbling.
- Let cool for about an hour before eating or storing in freezer containers.
One crock made about 4-5 jars worth, but I chose to freeze most of ours in Tupperware. So far we’ve made 2 crocks-worth and an entire pan of Apple crisp, which the boys refer to as Apple Crunch.
I’m not sure what they like more, picking apples or eating them. What’s your favorite apple recipe?
