This tastes delicious & the kitchen smells like apple pie! I halved the recipe - I'm cooking for 2 and my little crock pot is only 2 quart capacity - but I used the whole cinnamon stick. Cooking on low, it was ready in 6 hours. I filled a nice glass dish to serve with my roast pork on Sunday - and ate the rest right out of the crock pot - thanx Jude!

The taste of this dish is still in my mouth as I type this. Sooooooo good! I used organic sucanat for my sugar. Its not as sweet as white or brown...to me anyway. I diced the apples, used the juice of half a lemon and half a orange. I also added a pinch of salt. Took my potaato masher to it before removing from crock pot. Boy, I don't think I will have any left over to freeze...I'm going back for some more just as soon as I finish this!

This was delicious and so easy compared to traditional stovetop applesauce recipes I've made!!! the apples stay fairly chunky but I threw them in a blender and that worked well. You could also use a potato masher if you want them still fairly chunky. Thanks for sharing!

I thought this was very tasty applesauce. However, I did have to run it through the food processor to get the consistency that my family likes. That made for a lot of dishes to clean up! But it sure made the house smell good. I would just choose to make a larger batch next time so I have some extra to freeze.

This recipe was great! I expected it to come out still in the apple slices but it ends up being kind mushy "saucy." At first I didn't know what to do with it after it wasn't what I had expected, but the next night my father came over for dinner and I served it as a side to my pork chops and scalloped potatoes and my dad put it on top of his pork chop. I tried it and it was delicious. Great recipe!!!!
