No Sugar Added Strawberry Crockpot Applesauce

After waking up this morning to cooler weather it TOTALLY put me in the mood for Fall cooking.  After Austin's 5:30 AM feeding I opened up all of the windows and sat with some coffee and looked up Fall inspired recipes for the week.  I always wanted to find a special recipe that was just for Lilly and ran across a recipe for "No Sugar Added Crockpot Strawberry Applesauce."  Lilly enjoyed helping me make this recipe and all day she has been asking for it because it smells SO good!  I hope that you enjoy!


Directions:

1.  Wash apples really well
2.  Cut apples into quarters and make sure they are cored.  I bought a fancy new gadget at WalMart this morning and it helped do the trick quickly!

3.  Pour the apple juice into the bottom of the crock pot and then put apples and frozen strawberries.  Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or high for 4. 

4.  Use an immersion blender to blend all of the apples and strawberries together.

5.  Depending on the tartness of your apples, you might want to add some sugar sparingly, but we did not.
6.  If you want to freeze, let applesauce cool completly, ladle into freezer bags, and lay flat in the freezer.
