An apple a day...

Now's the time to try all those recipes with apples! On the recommendation of a farmers market vendor, we got some Cortland apples, which he said were good for applesauce. Here's an easy recipe for homemade applesauce! Besides being really tasty, it makes the house smell great.
Homemade Crockpot Applesauce
8-10 apples, peeled and diced (we cut in approx. 1/2" chunks)
1/2 to 1 cup sugar (I used 1/2 c. white sugar and 1/2 cup brown)
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Mix together in crockpot and cook on low 6-8 hours. If you like smooth applesauce, you can put it in the blender, but I like mine a little chunky.
