Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds Apples Any will do, but I usually do Envy or Honeycrisp
  • 6-8 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Can be omitted

Instructions
 

  • This recipe is meant for crockpot use, but I’m sure you can cook it in a large pot. Timing may change.
  • Pour your water, lemon juice, salt, and 2 cinnamon sticks on the bottom.
  • Layer your apple chunks and continue to add your cinnamon sticks to each layer. Make sure the cinnamon sticks are tucked in for the last layer.
  • Turn your crockpot on for 4 hours. You can stir in between a few times. The cinnamon sticks can be used twice; just rinse and dry them overnight and wrap them for your next use in this recipe! Jar the applesauce and enjoy!
