No Sugar, No Salt - Just Crock-Pot Applesauce!

4-5 lbs. apples (about 12 cups sliced)

1/2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg

 2 cups water

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Peel, core and thinly slice apples and place in crock-pot.  Add cinnamon or nutmeg.  Pour in water and lemon juice. Cook the usual:  3-4 hours on HIGH or 6-8 hours on LOW.  Stir occasionally.

Applesauce may be a little chunky. Mash with a fork or hit it with the immersion blender if you like smoother applesauce.  Yum!
