Crockpot Applesauce With Cranberriescrockpot 10 12 medium apples 1 to 2 cups cranberry juice 1/2 lemon juiced 2 tablespoon sugar, or up to 1/4cup if 1 you want it sweet 1/4 to 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 or craisins (sweetened 1 dried 1 cranberries) Wash the apples and chop them up without peeling. Squeeze lemon juice over them as you cut them. Put apples in crockpot with cranberry juice -- use 1 cup if you want the applesauce thick, more if you want it thin. Stir in sugar to suit your taste. Let apples stew on low for 6-8 hours. About an hour or two before serving, stir in cranberries or craisins. (All I found at my store was craisins--since they're sweetened, I used less sugar.) The applesauce is a very pretty pink and the cranberries & juice give it a nice zing. As you can see, the recipe is simple and forgiving -- let the apples stew a little longer or a little less ~- the longer you stew them the mushier the applesauce will be. It warms up nicely, or you can eat it cold. |
