Slow Cooker Cranberry Applesauce

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it’s nice to slow down.

As in, with the crock-pot.  Fire that baby up and let it work for you.  That’s my motto.

And this Slow Cooker Cranberry Applesauce is a huge hit over here.

Actually, gargantuan might better a better way describe it.  No…let’s use the word, MONOLITHIC.

As soon as I say it’s ready, there is a tiny-human (and not so tiny-human) stampede.  Bowls are flying through the air.  Bodies clashing mid-kitchen.

I practically have to body block and ration this stuff out.  #reallyforreal

Here’s how to make it:

Peel and cube about 14 Granny Smith (or a mixture of red and green if you prefer).

Throw them in your crockpot with:

• 1/4 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of powdered stevia or sugar
• 1-2 TBS cinnamon

Stir to combine and cook on high for about 2 hours.

Then add 1 1/2 to 2 Cups of cranberries, depending on how mouth-puckeringly tart you want your sauce, and cook for about another hour.

Oh, man.  I have some in the fridge and think I’m going to go and slurp it up.  😉
