Crock Pot Cinnamon Apple Sauce

INGREDIENTS 

• 6-9 apples (I also use a pear or two)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice 
  

Apples before being strained to remove seeds and peels

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut apples in half or quarters and put in the crock pot. 

2. Add water, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cover the pot with the lid. 

3. Turn the Crock Pot on medium and cook for 4hrs. 

4. With the mesh strainer in a metal bowl; pour the apple mixture into the strainer. 

5. Use a spatula or spoon to press the apples through the mesh.
