Preparation

Step 1

Peel, core and chop the apples.

Step 2

Add the sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice and cinnamon stick.

Step 3

Set crock pot to low and cook for 6 hours. Stir apples occasionally, apples will slowly become a delicious applesauce. Remove cinnamon stick and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth or if you prefer a chunky sauce, leave sauce intact. (I used a whisk, which gave the sauce a nice chunky consistency.)

Step 4

Can and process as you would other recipes or keep refrigerated up to 3 weeks.
