Ingredients
- Fill your slow cooker with enough apples to barley close the lid. You can use multiple varieties or just one of your favorites for this recipe.
- 2-3 tsp of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin with washing all of your apples you plan on using. Make sure to leave the skin on, this adds great fiber.
- After washing, dry and start to core them. Once cored, cut the apples into halves or quarters depending on the size apple you picked or bought from the store.
- Place all of the cored and sliced apples into your slow cooker and turn your slow cooker on low for 6 hours. Remember to stir 1-2 times every hour.
- Once it's been about 6 hours place the cooked down apples into a blender and blend until creamy. You can also use a hand blender like I used. BE CAREFUL THE APPLES ARE VERY HOT!
- Add the creamy apple mixture back into the slow cooker and stir the cinnamon in as well.
- This time put the slow cooker on low for 2 more hours. Remember to stir 1-2 times every hour.
- Let cool to room temperature before transferring into jars and either place in the refrigerator for 5 weeks or store in the freezer to use on a later date.
