How to Make Slow Cooked Cinnamon Applesauce

  1. Peel, core, and chop 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds total).
  2. In a 3 1/2-quart electric slow cooker, combine the chopped apples, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, or until the apples are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. If using a low setting, increase cooking time to 6-8 hours.
  4. Remove the lid and gently mash the apples using a potato masher or immersion blender to your desired consistency. Leave some chunks for a rustic texture, or mash completely smooth.
  5. Stir in 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon (or more, to taste).
  6. Serve warm. Optional: Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chopped pecans.
