Use Crock Pot to Make Applesauce

It is so nice to have apple season approaching. What to do with all those apples? An easy way to make a very sensible applesauce or apple butter is to use your crock pot. No sugar is necessary here, just peel (or partially peel) your apples. Slice in chunks and place them high into your crock pot, add a bit of cinnamon, or even a dash of nutmeg, and cook on low until this has reached your desired consistency. Use or freeze leftover applesauce.

This is also a fantastic way to do up strawberries. Again, no sugar added, cooking up the cleaned strawberries in your crock pot produces the most delicious strawberry jam, all without sugar. You can also add this to your homemade yogurt for a delicious treat.
