I love making homemade applesauce this time of year!  It is so good all by itself or serve on top of oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, waffles or pancakes.  This recipe cook in the slow cooker so it makes your house smell delicious!

8 medium Granny Smith apples or other tart cooking apples, cut into fourths (peeled or unpeeled)

2/3-cup sugar

¾ cup apple juice

1 Tablespoons margarine, melted

1-teaspoon ground cinnamon

1.      Mix all ingredients in 3.5-6 quart slow cooker.

2.        Cover and cook on high heat setting 1-½ hours to 2 hours or until apples begin to break up.  Stir well to break up larger pieces of apples.

3.       Serve warm or chilled.  To chill, cool about 2 hours, then spoon sauce into container; cover and refrigerated until chilled.

4.       Makes 8 servings.
