Crock Pot Applesauce

My aunt shared apples with me this weekend, so I have started up the applesauce factory again! Medium or large apples are perfect for making Crock Pot Applesauce. Just peel, core, chop, and throw in a few additional ingredients in the morning. You'll have warm applesauce by suppertime!
Crock Pot Spiced Applesauce
12 cups peeled & chopped apples
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup water
1 T. lemon juice
dash nutmeg, optional
Pour apples into slow cooker. Pour in sugar and cinnamon. Mix with apples. Stir in water and lemon juice. Top with nutmeg. Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours or High 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours. Mash gently with a potato masher or stir for a chunky sauce.

Here's mine a couple hours into the process. My family loves this and it makes the house smell so good!
